Wire characterization from one single electrical connection - Adrien Lelong - ehsm - 2012

Wire diagnosis aims at detect and locate faults in wires, measure their length, check their health or simply characterize them. This can be achieved electrically with only one connection point to the wire using reflectometry methods. This involves various hardware platforms and signal processing sometimes similar to those used in radar systems. The measurement platform can either be made around a microcontroller or an FPGA and needs one analog high frequency input/output. Adrien has worked on these issues in the context of real time cable monitoring in vehicles. He will talk about main parts of a reflectometry system for wires and its principle. Demos will be performed during the talk.
