OTDR主要技术指标（国外英文资料） Key technical indicators Dynamic Range Dynamic range is one of the main performance indicators for OTDR, which determines the maximum measurable length of fiber. The larger the dynamic range, the better the curve, the longer the measured distance. The dynamic range of OTDR is the dB difference between the initial back scattering and the noise level. Backscatter level level value of the initial point is incident light signal, and the noise level for the backscattering signal, the signal is not visible, when the signal of the signal to noise ratio (S/N) is smaller than a certain value, we will not be able to accurately analyze some or all of the characteristics of these signals, so the larger the dynamic range, the better. There are two main ways to increase the dynamic range: increase the initial backscatter and reduce the noise level. The factors affecting the initial back scattering level are the width of the light pulse, and the factors that affect the level of noise level are the average time of scanning. Most OTDR allows users to choose into the fiber optical pulse width parameter being measured, we can according to the optical pulse width, the greater the OTDR dynamic range, the greater the principles to change the dynamic range of OTDR. OTDR send repeatedly measured optical pulse, and the curve of each scan results obtained the average it curve, so that the receiver random noise will be suppressed with average time extension, that is, the longer the average time, the greater the dynamic range of OTDR. There are two kinds of understanding: (1) the difference between the starting level and the noise mean square root of the back scattering curve, the signal-to-noise ratio = 1; (2) the difference between the starting level and peak noise level on the backscatter curve. The dynamic range of the two understandings is about 2dB. The blind zone (Deadzone) The blind zone, also known as the dead zone, refers to the part of the OTDR curve that is unab
