IPC: G01M11/00

Abstract: In an optical time domain reflectometry method and
apparatus in which optical radiation at a first
preselected wavelength is launched into a fibre
deployed through a region of interest, and back-scattered
optical radiation in at least one preselected
spectral band is used to produce output signals
dependent upon the values being sensed, none of the
spectral bands used to produce said output signals lies
about a second wavelength which is equal to the
wavelength on which a first order Stokes spectral band,
which results from inelastic scattering in the fibre of
optical radiation at the first preselected wavelength,
is centred. The first preselected wavelength is
selected so as to substantially minimise, for a preset
length of said fibre, the value of a power loss
variable for the fibre concerned, which variable is
determined by subtracting from a first wavelength-dependent
function, giving the total power loss along
the preset length of fibre of forward- and backward-travelling
optical radiation, a second wavelength-dependent
function giving the maximum forward-travelling
power which can be launched into the fibre
such that power loss due to stimulated scattering in
the fibre does not exceed a predetermined value, both
functions being expressed in logarithmic units.

Abstract: A method and apparatus estimate additive
noise in a noisy signal using an iterative technique
within a recursive framework. In particular, the
noisy signal is divided into frames and the noise in
each frame is determined based on the noise in
another frame and the noise determined in a previous
iteration for the current frame. In one particular
embodiment, the noise found in a previous iteration
for a frame is used to define an expansion point for
a Taylor series approximation that is used to
estimate the noise in the current frame.The noise
estimation employs a recursive-Expectation-Maximization
framework based on a MAP (maximum a
posterior) criteria.
