DTF (Distance to Fault) Measurements
DTF Measurement Settings
The center frequency for the measurement is determined from the
calculated (Stop – Start) frequency values (seen on the second page of
DTF Settings):
The Loss value for the measurement is interpolated from the Freq/Loss pairs at
the Center Freq:
The correction for loss at 5 meters in one direction: 0.18 dB/m * 5m = 0.9 dB.
All DTF measurements correct for loss for travel down the DUT and back, so
double the correction: 0.9 dB * 2 = 1.8 dB.
Window Settings
Window settings provide the ability to choose between optimizing DTF
measurements for resolving closely-spaced faults or for the ability to measure
low-level faults.

and choose from the following:
—
Maximum (Maximum – Optimized for dynamic range)
the noise floor
is lowered to provide the ability to measure low-level responses.
(Default setting)
—
Medium
– Compromise between Min and Max window settings.
—
Minimum
– Best Response Resolution, providing the ability to resolve
between two closely-spaced responses.
