Abstract

See full text

In an equipment for locating a reflection point in a transmission line a recording is obtained of the impulse response of the path of the echo produced by a transmission signal based on a reference signal x(n) constituted by binary sequences of duration NT which comprise only one bit of non-zero value. At the reception end, the equipment comprises a memory for storing N coefficients Ci which are read cyclically with a view to being modified by successive iterations, each coefficient being modified once per read cycle by the term .alpha..Sgn[e(n)], where Sgn[e(n)] is the sign of the difference between the signal received and the coefficient read at a moment NT and .alpha. is a constant less than 1. The coefficients modified and written into the memory form the values of the desired impulse response.
