Systems and methods for characterizing loops based on single-ended line test (SELT) are described. One embodiment includes a method for determining whether a straight-loop departure condition exists on a loop under test. In accordance with such embodiments, the method comprises receiving an un-calibrated echo signal for the loop under test using frequency domain reflectometry single-ended line testing (FDR-SELT), a region associated with the loop under test, a platform type, and a length of the loop under test. Based on the region, platform type, and loop length, the method further comprises determining whether the loop is not a straight loop, wherein determining whether the loop is not a straight loop comprises determining whether at least one differentiating feature is present in the un-calibrated echo signal. Another embodiment includes a method for determining a loop gauge for a loop under test. The method comprises receiving an un-calibrated echo signal for the loop under test using frequency domain reflectometry single-ended line testing (FDR-SELT), a region associated with the loop under test, a platform type, and a length of the loop under test. Based on the region, platform type, and loop length, the method further comprises analyzing characteristics relating to local maxima and local minima of the un-calibrated echo signal to determine the loop gauge.
