otdr主要技术指标（OTDR main technical indexes） Main technical indexes 1, dynamic range (Dynamic, Range) Dynamic range is one of the main performance indexes of OTDR, which determines the maximum measurable length of optical fiber. The larger the dynamic range, the better the curve alignment, and the longer the measurement distance. The dynamic range of OTDR is the dB difference between the initial backscatter level and the noise level. Backscatter level starting point is the value of the signal level of incident light, and the noise level of the backscattering signal is not visible signal, when the signal to noise ratio (S/N) is less than a certain value, we will not be able to analyze these signals of some or all of the characteristics accurately, so the dynamic range of the bigger the better. There are two main ways to increase the dynamic range: increasing the initial backscatter level and lowering the noise level. The factors affecting the initial backscatter level are the pulse width, and the average time is the factor that affects the noise level. Most OTDR allow users to select the parameters of the pulse width of the injected fiber, so we can change the dynamic range of OTDR according to the principle that the larger the pulse width is, the larger the dynamic range of the OTDR. OTDR fiber is measured repeatedly to send pulses, and each scanning curve the average curve so as to obtain the result, random noise will increase with the average time of this receiver and suppressed, that is to say, the average time is longer, the greater the dynamic range of OTDR. There are two kinds of understanding: (1) the difference between the starting level and the RMS level of the noise in the back scattering curve, that is, the signal-to-noise ratio =1; (2) the difference between the starting level and the noise peak level on the back scatter curve. The dynamic range of the two understandings varies by about 2dB. 2, blind area (Deadzone) Blind spot, also known as dead zone, refers
