Modulated magnetic signature of blood (MMSB) is a promising approach to obtain PTT. The origin of MMSB is critical to establish the relationship between MMSB and BP. In this paper, two possible origins of MMSB, blood disturbance mechanism and angular variation mechanism, are analyzed and verified through three control experi-ments under different conditions. The influence of blood velocity alteration and blood volume alteration on magnetic field is investigated though blood flow simulation sys-tem. It is found that MMSB comes mainly from the periodic blood flow while the per-turbation caused by angular variation between sensitive axis of the magnetic sensor and geomagnetic field can be neglected. As to blood disturbance mechanism, the change of blood volume plays a decisive role while the effect of blood velocity altera-tion is negligible.展开更多

The enhancement of system signal to noise ratio(SNR) and reduction of temperature measurement error provided by coding are characterized. By using 16-bit Golay coding, SNR can be improved by about 2.77 d B, and temperature measurement error of the 100 m heated fiber is reduced from 1.4 °C to 0.5 °C with a spatial resolution of 13 m. The results are believed to be beneficial for the performance improvement of self-heterodyne detection Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer.展开更多
