Hi all,

For my project, I want to perform Distance to fault measurement in the
cable connecting the antenna. The principle is that a signal should be
sent to the cable and using the forward and reflected voltage VSWR
should be calculated and should be viewed in a spectrum analyzer. My
question is

1. What transducer is used to detect the transmitted/reflected signals
from the cable?

2. Should the transducer be connected in series or parallel?

Anyone, Please help

No transducer. Use an oscilloscope to measure the time between the
emitted pulse and the reflection of the same.

just to add to that Google Time domain Reflectometer.
