Synopsis

This book investigates the behavior and characteristics of an instrument called the FOCUS, used by the United States Air Force for calibrating OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers). OTDRs themselves are used for characterizing optical fiber network suitability and determining fault locations. The investigation in this book was initiated due to anomalous measurements obtained using the FOCUS to calibrate USAF OTDRs. The author explores the signal characteristics and behavior of the FOCUS, examining potential causes for these discrepancies. The analysis in this book provides insights into the sources of error in the FOCUS calibration process, ultimately leading to recommendations for improvements and corrections. The findings have significant implications for the accuracy and reliability of OTDR calibrations, particularly those performed by the USAF.
