27、1-2:1993 BSI 03-2000 3 Introduction Modern test sets often combine a number of different measurement functions under the control of a microprocessor. In this way generally more than one parameter is checked and analysed step-by-step in accordance with specific software programmes. The results of the

28、 measurements are printed or plotted automatically and the programme description and tolerance analysis form part of the presentation of results. An example of such specialized equipment is a network analyser which combines two and four-port measurement facilities in one microprocessor-controlled un

29、it. 1 Scope This section of IEC 835-1 deals with the measurement of basic characteristics common to terrestrial radio-relay systems and satellite earth stations. These basic characteristics apply to all of the frequency ranges employed in the radio systems,i.e: radio frequency; intermediate frequenc

30、y; baseband (e.g.clock frequency of the digital baseband signal). The method of measurement for each parameter (e.g.return loss) is presented, wherever possible, asa single clause which is applicable to any of the above frequency ranges. Where exceptions occur, they will be given in the relevant cla

31、uses. 2 Carrier frequency 2.1 Definition and general consideration The carrier frequency is that frequency in the r.f. signal spectrum which is modulated by the information, or baseband, signal. The carrier frequency is normally measured without modulation. If energy dispersal is employed, it should

32、 be rendered inoperative, if possible, before making measurements. 2.2 Methods of measurement The arrangement for measuring frequency using a counter or digital frequency-meter is shown in Figure 1. The band-pass filter is required only if spurious signals are present. The amplifier and/or attenuato

33、r are required only if the input range of the frequency-meter does not cover the range of levels concerned. Both the equipment under test and the test equipment itself should be allowed to attain thermal stability before making any measurements. The digital frequency-meter indications are then read

34、during an interval of, for example, one second, depending upon the integrating time of the instrument used. Alternatively, a recorder may be used to record the indications of the digital frequency-meter for a number of counts. The number of counts will depend upon whether noise is present or not, an

35、d whether this modulates the signal or is superimposed uponit. Generally, the analysis of a statistical series averaged over several measuring intervals will provide evidence of the repeatability of the results. NOTEThe above method may also be used when the r.f. carrier is modulated by a zero mean

36、baseband signal, provided that the digital frequency-meter does not introduce errors which depend upon the modulating signal. The averaging interval of the digital frequency-meter should exceed100cycles of the modulating signal. Alternatively, e.g.when performing frequency measurements on baseband s

37、ignals, where a long time is required (10 s or more), several counter readings with a short averaging time can be taken and the average of these readings calculated. There are also other methods applicable for carrier frequency measurement with modulation. For example, the substitution or interferen

38、ce method using a spectrum analyser as an indicator in conjunction with a synthesizer as a reference frequency source. 2.3 Presentation of results The readings of the digital frequency-meter should be recorded manually or automatically as a function of time. The integrating time and the accuracy of

39、the digital frequency-meter should be stated. When several counter readings are taken they should be tabulated, together with the calculated average value.EN60835-1-2:1993 4 BSI 03-2000 The measured accuracy can be expressed as an absolute value, e.g.50kHz, or as a fractional value, e.g.one part in1

40、0 5 . The nominal carrier frequency should also be stated. 2.4 Details to be specified The following items should be included, as required, in the detailed equipment specification: a) nominal value of frequency and required accuracy; b) the part of the equipment to be measured and the port at which

41、the measurement is to be made; c) permitted frequency tolerance. 3 Spectrum It is necessary to evaluate the spectrum which is to be transmitted by the radio-relay or satellite earth station in terms of wanted or unwanted signals. Wanted signals within the necessary bandwidth are treated under “signa

42、l spectrum”, and unwanted signals which appear outside the necessary bandwidth are treated under “spurious emissions”. 3.1 Signal spectrum 3.1.1 Definitions and general considerations In accordance with reference 1 the spectrum of a modulated signal is defined by the following characteristics: neces

43、sary bandwidth; occupied bandwidth; out-of-band signal; unwanted spectrum components. The necessary bandwidth is a theoretical value which ensures that the information will be transmitted with the required quality, whereas the occupied bandwidth is a measurable value within which a specified percent

44、age of the total power of a given signal should lie (e.g.99%). The out-of-band signal is that part of the signal which is outside the necessary bandwidth and results from the modulation process and/or caused by spectral restoration or spectral spreading. Unwanted spectrum components within the neces

45、sary bandwidth are also measured. NOTEUnwanted components with an inadmissibly high level in the transmitted signal usually adversely affect the error ratio. These components therefore have a different significance in digital systems than in analogue systems. 3.1.2 Methods of measurement A suitable

46、measuring arrangement is shown inFigure 2. To measure the spectrum of the modulated signal, a random bit sequence modulation may be applied. Thisbit sequence is usually generated by a pseudo-random generator (e.g.a sequence of2 23 1bits for140Mbit/s systems). The resolution bandwidth of the analyser

47、 should be greater than the bit rate of the pseudo-random bit sequence by a factor of50 to100 e.g.for a bit rate of34Mbit/s and a sequence of2 151bits, the resolution bandwidth is (50:100) 34 10 6 /(2 15 1), approximately50:100kHz. To measure the level of the unwanted components within the necessary

48、 bandwidth it is necessary to operate the equipment under test without modulation. 3.2 Spectrum of spurious components 3.2.1 Definition and general considerations According to the Radio Regulations, a spurious emission is an emission on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary band

49、width and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions. Unwanted signal components may be divided into two categories: i) Spurious components excluding intermodulation products but including: harmonic signals; parasitic signals; frequency conversion products.EN60835-1-2:1993 BSI
