6. Conclusion and outlook
6.1 Strengths and weaknesses of reflectometry
Reflectometry methods are well suited to the diagnosis of wired networks, even with complex topologies. The case of medium- or high-voltage power supply networks (partial discharges) requires special consideration, but the methods used are quite similar.
Certain limitations, inherent to the method or to the physics of the problem, have been mentioned (cf. §
