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. :)
