    Abstract: A reflectometry method for detecting faults in a cable, comprising a step of comprises acquiring a signal injected into the cable and reflected off at least one singularity of the cable, and the following steps: decomposing the reflected signal into a plurality of time components, constructing, from the time components, a plurality of intermediate signals, calculating the Wigner-Ville transform, of each of the intermediate signals and of the reflected signal, calculating a time-frequency transform equal to the sum of the Wigner-Ville transforms of the time components, based on a linear combination of the Wigner-Ville transforms of each of the intermediate signals and of the reflected signal, detecting and locating the maxima of the time-frequency transform, and deriving the existence and the location of the sought faults therefrom.
