We propose an independent real spectral analysis method to improve the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) resolution using the differential cross-spectrum technique (DCS-BOTDR). The proposed method only considers the real components to extract BGS. For a 1.2 km test fiber length, we have achieved 0.4 m spatial resolution, 1.98 MHz Brillouin frequency accuracy, and 1.025 MHz/°C temperature sensitivity using the proposed method.
