Evaluation with Wave Propagation Launch Vehicles besides Non-Intrusive Transmission Lines Failure Detection.

Raghuveer Singh

Abstract


The whole paper presents a principle of non-intrusive real-time network failure tracking utilizing wireless sensor networks. The core components of the detector are known as energy harvesters, waveforms and algorithms, circuits and components, and surface wave launchers. In this we have discussed a compact energy harvesting system that is capable of non-intrusively extracting power from a power cable. In terms of waveforms and algorithms, we suggest the usage of TDR and in terms of circuits and materials, either commercially off the shelf elements or in the laboratory. The core purpose of this article is the design, creation and implementation of a pair of subwavelength-sized broadband surface wave launchers, a TDR pulse generator circuit, and the confirmation that, when used in combination with the other basic components described, and wireless adapter defects can be observed.

Keywords: Conformal surface wave (CSW), Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) and Joint Time Frequency Domain Reflectometry (JTFDR), Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), XLPE.
