Abstract

The homomorphic transformation is used to separate a time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal into its rapidly and slowly varying components, respectively. The separation (deconvolution) technique is successful in the case where the multiple reflections cannot be viewed in nonoverlapping time windows as is required by the conventional TDR method.
