Systems and methods presented herein are generally directed to the
location and/or identification of a circuit within a circuit. In one
embodiment, a transmitter is configured for inducing a signal upon a
circuit (e.g., power lines, communication lines, lighting circuits, etc.)
to identify it from other circuit lines. The signal may be induced upon
an individual element of the circuit through direct contact. A receiver
may receive a radiated component of the signal from a distal point on the
circuit to acquire the signal induced thereon and determine a strength of
the signal received. Based on the received signal component, the receiver
may determine location, configuration, and/or identification of the
circuit from which the radiated signal is being received.
