The proposed PRBS fault finding mechanism relies on its unique spike-like autocorrelation (ACR) property in the fault response cross-correlation (CCR) evaluation, to build a unique characteristic signature for (a) fault location and (b) identification in transmission line systems. PRBS testing utilises a random coded series of pulses which are reflected by an impedance mismatch as a correlated 'magnified' response distributed over the entire test sequence, to identify a transmission line fault and its location. The proposed research is targeted towards the application of PRBS identification for transmission line systems and the development of a software cable model for numerical simulation with validation using measurement data obtained from the Tyndall Institute.
