![]() | Furse, Cynthia M. | Application of phase detection frequency domain reflectometry for locating faults in an F-18 flight control harness | The performance of a phase-detection frequency-domain reflectometer (PD-FDR) for locating open and short circuits (hard faults) in a Navy F-18 flight control harness has been tested, and the analytical expressions for accuracy verified. Nine different types of aircraft wires appear in this harness:... | Phase detection; Frequency domain reflectometry; PD-FDR; Wire fault location; Aging wire; Flight control harness | 2005-05 |

![]() | Furse, Cynthia M. | Frequency-domain reflectometery for on-board testing of aging aircraft wiring | Aging aircraft wiring poses a significant safety threat and has been implicated in losses of both military and commercial aircraft. This paper describes the conceptual design and function of a "smart wiring system" based on a low-cost frequency-domain reflectometer (FDR) that can be used to test th... | Frequency domain reflectometry; Aging wiring; On board testing | 2003-05 |
