  • Apparatus for detection of packet energy transfer in cables and related methods
    Patent number: 11768254
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting Packet Energy Transfer (PET) in a cable is disclosed herein. The PET detecting apparatus includes an input adapted to generate a current by operative communication of the input with the cable, wherein the cable communicates PET as a pulse train. A spectral analyzer compares frequencies of maxima of the power spectrum of a signal derived from the current with a fundamental frequency of the pulse train and a harmonic frequency of the pulse train to detect PET in the cable. A power maximum of the power spectrum at the fundamental frequency and a second power maximum of the power spectrum at the harmonic frequency indicates PET in the cable. No power maximum of the power spectrum at the fundamental frequency or no second power maximum of the power spectrum at the harmonic frequency indicates no PET in the cable.
