Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, domestic and foreign methods for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the Φ-OTDR system mainly include changing the amplification mechanism on the hardware, or using polarization-maintaining devices and plastic sensitizing optical cables; using coherent detection instead of direct detection; or denoising by wavelet in signal processing methods and short-time Fourier analysis (STFT) to suppress noise, these methods have certain limitations
Other general methods, such as increasing the laser power, increasing the emission pulse width, and the cumula

Embodiment 2

[0032] The Simplex code is a unipolar matrix composed of 1 and 0, which can be transformed from the Hadamard matrix. Compared with Simplex coding, Hadamard coding itself is a more efficient coding method for reducing the influence of noise, but because it is a bipolar matrix, and the actual optical system is non-negative, so most of them still use Simplex coding. Simplex code is a coding method with the highest decoding efficiency; in addition, Simplex code is a coding method with short code length and high gain; it has linear properties and does not have strict requirements on the pulse code amplitude, which can suppress the instability of pump power in the optical system , Modulator extinction ratio change and other factors affect the coding effect; another advantage of using Simplex coding is that it can use the fast Hadamard code transformation (FHT) algorithm to decode, further improving the decoding efficiency. In addition, among the modulation methods for encoding pulse...

Abstract

The invention discloses a phase sensitivity light time domain reflection system and a method for improving SNR (signal to noise ratio) thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: changing an initial phase of each code word of a sequence coded pulse randomly through an external modulation method when a pulse is coded based on a Simplex sequence and a zero adjustment modulation mode; carrying out coherence reduction treatment on the coherence among sequence codes, and keeping the coherence in a unit code; and decoding through a rapid sliding decoding method. According to the system and the method, as well as the system SNR is improved and the sensing distance is prolonged, not only can the system space resolution not be reduced, but also the space resolution can be improved effectively; by utilizing the rapid sliding decoding method, the measuring time of the coded pulse is equal to the measuring time per time, the efficiency is higher compared with that by using a progressive average measuring method, and the frequency measuring range of the system is expanded, and thus the light pulse coding method is a high-efficiency method for improving the SNR of the phase sensitivity light time domain reflection system, and the integral performance of the system can be improved effectively.
