Here, we report the experimental observation of a strong negative correlation between the relative power spectrum density (PSD) at the heterodyne frequency and the noise floor of the detected phase for the heterodyne demodulated distributed acoustic sensor (HD-DAS) system. We further propose a weighted-channel stack algorithm (WCSA) to alleviate the phase fading noise via an enhancement of the relative PSD at the heterodyne frequency. Experimental results show that the phase noise of the demodulated signal can be suppressed by 13.7 dB under optimal condition. As a potential application, we exploited the improved HD-DAS system to retrieve a piece of music lasted for 205 s, demonstrating the reliability of detecting wideband sound signal without distortion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20040999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]],"date-time":"2020-02-20T03:20:03Z","timestamp":1582168803000},"page":"999","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Performance Improvement of Dual-Pulse Heterodyne Distributed Acoustic Sensor for Sound Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2014-2340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiangge","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Beijing International Center for Gas Hydrate, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing International Center for Gas Hydrate, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Institute of Ocean Research, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8816-9393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lijuan","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Beijing International Center for Gas Hydrate, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Shangran","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Staudtstr. 2, 91058 Erlangen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing International Center for Gas Hydrate, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Hailong","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Beijing International Center for Gas Hydrate, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8601","DOI":"10.3390\/s120708601","article-title":"Recent Progress in Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors","volume":"12","author":"Bao","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"041302","DOI":"10.1063\/1.5113955","article-title":"Distributed optical fiber sensing: Review and perspective","volume":"6","author":"Lu","year":"2019","journal-title":"Appl.
