Abstract

PURPOSE:To locate a distance of a fault point of an optical fiber transmission line including a relay point from a transmission signal stored in both terminal stations if a fault takes place in the transmission line by sending a reference bit at each reciprocating propagation time, receiving and storing the transmission signal sectioned by the reference bit. CONSTITUTION:The reference bit is sent from a transmitter 5 of a transmission section 1 of a terminal station at each rectiprocating time of an optical fiber transmission line 3 at first and the receiver 6 of a reception section 2 receives the transmission signal sectioned by the reference bit. If a fault takes place in the transmission line, the distance D from the terminal station B till the fault point is calculated by an equation of D(sec)=(tb-ta)/2, where ta and tb are time differences at terminal stations A, B between the data interruption time and the reference bit respectively. Thus, the distance to the fault point is calculated by dividing the said time by the propagating time of the optical fiber.

The above-mentioned conventional fault point locating methods, especially the pulse reflection method mediated by the power supply line, are effective only when the submarine cable is cut, that is, the power supply line is cut1, and the optical pulse reflection method is effective only when the power supply line is disconnected. It is impossible to search for faults in optical fibers farther away, and the intervening fiber catchball method cannot deal with faults only in the main signal fiber, and has the drawbacks that the cost increases due to the intervening fibers.

Next, we will discuss the operation of the fault point locating method with the above configuration in the second section.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. First, a reference bit is sent from a transmitter in a transmitting section of a terminal station every round-trip propagation time on a transmission path, and a receiver in a receiving section receives a transmission signal separated by the reference bits. When a fault occurs in the transmission path, if the transmission signal is cut off at point Ta and point Tb, the fault point is the fault occurrence data Ta.
When a broken line parallel to the locus of the reference pitch Ps is drawn from the point Tb and the point Tb, the point is below the intersection. At this time, the delay time Tn (sec) from the A terminal to the failure point is Tp=(2T+
ta-tb ) ÷ 2 The distance D from the B terminal station to the failure point is D = (
tb-ta)÷2. Therefore, this time is equal to the fiber propagation time (
The distance can be calculated by dividing by approximately 4.7 μSad/, ').

Note that in the above explanation, the reference bits are used independently, but the reference bits are not limited to this, and may also be used in other than the transmission signal, such as part of the frame pulse or service pulse, so as not to reduce the transmission capacity. Of course it's a good thing.
