ITU-T 5.87 (03/2001) 1 FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized a

9、gency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwi

10、de basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of IT-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA

11、Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administra

12、tion and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. TTU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicabilit

13、y of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement th

14、is Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. o ITU 2001 All rights reserved.

18、for a great deal of information to be accessed through the use of hybrid links into the users premises. For an undetermined period during the analogue to digital transition, it will be necessary to co-carry both formats using a coaxial cable delivery system into the users premises. 2 Scope This Reco

Activation of the upstream facility is recommended on hybrid systems, where appropriate, for the implementation of user requirement for upstream signals, e.g. control functionality and data return. Architecture for hybrid links into the users premises 7 The spectrum for

27、 residual analogue television should be located where incumbent reception equipment will operate without additional adaptation. This will generally mean that the digital signals are carried on the higher frequency channels. However, digital signals can be transmitted between analogue channels. In th

28、is case, especially when digital channels are allocated adjacent to residual analogue channels, the receiving quality of the analogue channels should be maintained. In general, digital signals have a noise-like spectral energy distribution. When digital signals are impressed upon the analogue signal

29、s present, they do not add new Composite Second Order (CSO) or Composite Triple Beat (CTB) products as they would if they were analogue television signals. They add a new form of impairment called Composite Intermodulation Noise (CIN) instead, which is manifested as a reduction in the video signal-t

30、o-noise ratio on the analogue channels. To minimize the effects of CIN on the Co-carried analogue signals, it is desirable to carry QAM, VSB, and OFDM digital signals at an appropriately lower level than the analogue signals, but not so low as to affect the reliability of the digital signal transmis

31、sions. It is recommended that QAM, VSB, and OFDM digital video carriers generally be run at levels of eight to ten dB below the Co-carried analogue signals and retain adequate operational margins for both analogue and digital signals on the system. In order to retain adequate operational margins for

32、 both types of signals assembled in FDM on the system, Carrier-to-Noise Ratio, Distortion, Mutual Interference along with CIN should be considered. In the case of introducing supplementary digital channels in the cable networks, it is desired that: - - Conditions for hybrid digitaknalogue transmissi

33、on should be bounded by: - - - An example for constraints on frequency allocation is provided in Appendix I. In each case, the boundary conditions are related to the type of receiver used in the cable system. The type of receiver means either a general receiver available on the market or a special r

34、eceiver for the system. In the case of using single super heterodyne receiver, the digital channel which suffers interference from Technical requirement and constraints for hybrid links a low bit error rate should be kept for the digital channels; disturbances of the conventional analogue channels s

35、hould be avoided. the interference fi-om intermodulation distortion; the transmission level for digital channels adjacent to an analogue channel; the transmission level for digital channels in taboo channels. 2 ITU-T 5.87 (03/2001) the local oscillator should have a signal level sufficiently high to

36、 maintain signal quality. At the same time, in case of possible interference by the leakage of a local oscillator from a digital receiver, the leakage level of the local oscillator needs to be sufficiently low so as not to disturb the transmitted signals. If these conditions are not met, a double su

37、per heterodyne receiver is recommended for use in order to avoid local oscillator interference with the transmission frequencies of the signals. Technical parameters are described in Appendix II for considering the performance of receivers of digital channels. Annex A shows the technical parameters
