In principle yes if we are concerned just with
pointing out number for  Fo I guess.As concerns wave
form in real time no.
TCs are NOT Tx lines ,but distributed circuits much
more complicated than Tx lines (and that is a central
problem to be overcome).

My brave guess :it is possible today..But Nobody on
this list has got enough powerfull hardware and
Mawwell eqs. based  software to do that job.
