  • Method and apparatus for monitoring integrity of wires or electrical cables
    Patent number: 7068042
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the integrity of a wire is provided, which includes a TDR instrument for generating a pulse waveform for transmission through the wire. The apparatus also includes a function generator for generating an electrical or non-electrical forcing waveform for transmission through the wire. The pulse waveform is transmitted through the wire in combination with the forcing waveform and a detector measures a change in dissipation factor values along the wire.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for monitoring integrity of wires or electrical cables
    Patent number: 6686746
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring integrity of a wire is provided, which includes a TDR instrument for generating a pulse waveform for transmission through the wire. The apparatus also includes a function generator for generating a forcing waveform for transmission through the wire. The pulse waveform is transmitted through the wire by itself, and then in combination with the forcing waveform.
