Identification of transmission lines: from time domain measurements to frequency domain models

In the telecommunication field, many measurements on transmission line networks are performed in the time domain. This gives important information on the location of reflections. It is not so straightforward to obtain important parameters like the bandwidth from these measurements. For this the frequency domain can be used. In this paper a technique is proposed to go from time domain measurements to frequency domain models. This technique is developed on simulation data and validated on simulation data.
