Any antenna analyzer with variable frequency can be used as a TDR of sorts. 
Anything will work.
The method is very simple. You simply observe how far apart in frequency the 
repeating gyrations in impedance are, and use standard 1/2 wave formulas to 
convert the difference frequency to distance.
I can do this with a low power VFO and a diode detector or scope.  It does 
not even have to be a bridge.  :)
