Abstract

In this project we are going to divide the railway track into a block of specific length and will be sending a square wave as an incident wave and using the principle of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), we will be measuring the time at which the wave has been reflected back. Reference length of the wire will be set and reflected time will be measured and will be converted into length by using CTMU of pic microcontroller. If there is shunting in between this block, its exact distance will be known as the time will be proportional to the distance at which the short has occurred.
