Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter des dégradations, utilisé dans un système de communications multicanal destiné à émettre des signaux sur une pluralité de fréquences de canal. La première étape du procédé consiste à émettre, à partir d'une unité de tête de réseau, un ou plusieurs signaux d'information sur le système de communications multicanal, ces signaux comprenant des informations qui identifient une ou plusieurs fréquences à mesurer. La seconde étape du procédé consiste à émettre un signal de déclenchement sur le système de communications multicanal. Dans d'autres étapes du procédé, la première et la seconde unités distante, reliées de manière fonctionnelle à différentes localisations situées sur le sur le système de communications multicanal, reçoivent au moins les signaux d'information et le signal de déclenchement. Chacune des première et seconde unités distantes, sensibles au signal de déclenchement, effectue ensuite une mesure qui mesure le niveau de signal correspondant à au moins une première fréquence parmi les fréquences à mesurer, la première fréquence étant identifiée dans les signaux d'information reçus. La première et la seconde unités distantes effectuent la mesure environ au même moment.
