Abstract

The commonly used methods for reeling cable length measurement, time domain reflectomerty (TDR), could not meet the high accuracy requirement. The frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) methods are mainly aim at cable faults detection and not able to effectively use in length measurement. This paper presents a new method for reeling cable based on standing wave reflectometry, which could adjust the traditional FDR methods. The new method makes full use of the parameters provided by reeling cable to predict the amplitude variation curve formed by traditional FDR. A sweep frequency selecting method is also proposed, along with the processing algorithm for the amplitude variation curve and length calculation method. Results of simulation verifies that the new method could fully adapt to length measurement with high efficiency and speed, which also could meet the accuracy requirement of length measurement.
