To identify each sensor, a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) code is sent as a random signal into the FBG sensor array, and the information of the corresponding sensor is decoded in the electrical domain. A pseudo-random waveform with a temporal duration of 10 ns and a time-bandwidth product of 322. 5625) Radio. National Research Council Canada. Optical Fiber Communication Conference, W2A. The system utilizes the autocorrelation property to separate individual sensors from the multiplexed output of many sensors. The time signal is modulated with pseudo-random code and carrier at the transmitter, and the time delay is measured at the receiver by the methods of pseudo-code rang-ing. The manufacturing and spectral features of different types of long period fiber gratings (LPFGs), ranging from phase-shifted, turn-around point, and internally tilted gratings, to pseudo-random gratings, are described and discussed in detail. LPFGs were manufactured on boron-germanium co-doped.
