Dear group members, I have a problem, hope you all would help me in stating how to solve this issue. My professor gave me a task in Optical communcation course where I hav to interpret the OTDR - values, that have been generated for CRO and give the following in results. 1. What is the Initial Pulse? 2. What is the attenuation for the fiber 1 and fiber 2 3. what is the connector loss?
Now the problem i have is the values given to me is in the form of volts, i.e for the y axis. I know the formula to find the distance for the x axis is Distance = 3 * 10 E8 ( T ) / (2 * n)
where T = time and the n is the refractive index. The reason dividing by 2, coz of backscattering.
Where Refractive index is given as n = 1.475
First of all iam having problem how to interpret with the given datas which is given below. Can any one help me to sort this out since my other professors were in holidays and the day they were coming is the day I hav to submit. The details were given below.
Thanks, Mukundan
