Performance measurement & analysis on optical fibre link using OTDR

Ramley, Norazlin Niza (2002) Performance measurement & analysis on optical fibre link using OTDR. [Student Project] (Unpublished)
Abstract

This report describes the performance and characteristics of the fibre optic. The fibre performance is measured by OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometre). OTDR is used to examine the trace of the reflected signal from the fibre. From the OTDR measurements, fibre loss, fibre return loss, distance and attenuation are presented, compared and analyzed. The purpose of this measurement is to check the optical quality (loss) of each splice and determine the condition of the fibre. Fibre Acceptence Test Simulation is used to monitor the status of the fibre. The result can be used as periodic inspection and maintenance of the link involved. This project is done with the cooperation TELEKOM MALAYSIA at Bukit Raja Exchange. The data are taken around Selangor Barat fibre network's area. This project has given the author a sound knowledge and understanding on how to examine the performance characteristics of a complex optical link and network.
