Fault location in transmission lines using EMTR • The time-reversal focusing procedure: a. Transient waveforms generated by a source propagate through the medium and are recorded by sensors. b. The recorded signals are reversed in time and re-emitted back to the medium. In view of the reversibility in time of the wave equation, travelling waves are refocused into the source point • N.
