Microwave heterodyne detection can be used to measure the temperature and strain distribution along a fiber with high accuracy in a Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) system. This method involves simultaneous measurement of Brillouin scattering and Rayleigh scattering in fiber, and scanning of Briliouin spectrum to obtain the desired information. This paper presents a simultaneous measurement system of temperature and strain based on microwave detection and analyzed the system performances such as measurement accuracy, dynamic range, and spatial resolution theoretically. The analysis shows that the system can achieve a temperature resolution of 1℃ and a strain resolution of 100 με.
