Abstract:
A method for automatically identifying an impairment of a communication medium includes (1) obtaining a spectrum response of communication signals traveling through the communication medium, (2) converting the spectrum response from a frequency domain to a time domain, to generate an impulse response, and (3) identifying the impairment of the communication medium at least partially based on one or more characteristics of the impulse response.
