TDR is largely used for diagnostic and monitoring purposes in different fields, and this is due to its high versatility, accuracy, and relatively low implementation costs, and also, thanks to the possibility of carrying out continuous real-time measurements. An additional advantage is that TDR can be automated (so as to be remotely controlled) and through multiplexers it is possible to employ simultaneously several probes with a single measurement instrument. For example, the TDR200 reflectometer can control up to 512 probes through multiplexers. One of the first TDR applications relates to fault diagnosis in wires. In particular, TDR has been used for fault detection in electric wires in buildings, aircraft, and transportation systems; additionally, TDR has been used to identify bad splices in telephone cables and to characterize electronic devices/components and antennae
