8、NGL 1999 4862591 0657358 848 D FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,

9、operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in t

10、heir turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collabor

11、ative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation the term recognized operating agency (ROA) includes any individual, company, corporation or governmental organization that operates a public correspondence service. The terms Administration, ROA and public correspondence are defined in the Co

12、nstitution of the ITU (Geneva, 1992). INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applic

13、ability 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, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to im

21、lecommunication operators on avoiding interference and damage caused by power and electrified railway plants, radio transmitters, both intentional and unintentional, and electrostatic discharges. The text is intentionally short, drawing the attention of the user to reference standards and documents

22、listed. Equipment, when used in an environment where it is intended to be installed, should be able to function properly and without disturbing other equipment. This is assured by environmental classification and EMC test requirements. Telecommunications equipment normally fulfils the EMC requiremen

23、ts when the doors of cabinets are closed and other covers are on. During installation and maintenance it is necessary to open the doors which require special precautions when handling Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) sensitive devices. Hand-held radios may also cause interference in such situations. M

24、itigation methods are also given for cases where interference exists due to fast transient or radio-frequency phenomena for some reason - e.g. the environment is harder than the class the equipment is designed for - or other power users are creating a harsh environment. Practical rules are given for

25、 situations where interference occurs, e.g. due to low frequency harmonic disturbance from an a.c. power system or user. This Recommendation is a basic EMC Recommendation for telecommunications.

37、uipment and installations. High frequency emission is mainly caused by harmonics of clock frequencies of digital circuits which propagate by conduction or radiation. Spurious emissions from radio equipment can also be considered to belong under EMC. Emission control is performed by equipment design

38、and correct installation. Immunity problems may be caused by such high frequency and fast transient phenomena as radio-frequency fields of different radio systems, radio-frequency currents induced to telecommunication and power lines, fast transients caused by switches in equipment connected to main

39、s or d.c. power and discharges of the static electricity. Immunity is controlled by designing equipment to meet standardized test requirements, by network design, proper installation, environmental control and maintenance and correct working methods. 5 Low frequency EMC Low frequency EMC in telecomm

40、unications includes control of both emission and immunity in telecommunication equipment and installations. Low frequency emission by telecommunication equipment and systems is not normally a problem and will not be considered in this Recommendation. When problems do occur they are normally symptoma

41、tic of a greater problem. Immunity problems may be caused by low frequency phenomena such as a.c. power distribution systems, electrified railways, electrified fences (e.g. for animal containment), welding equipment and other high-power industrial systems causing induction to telecommunication lines

42、. Some industrial systems also cause fast transient impulses to be induced onto the telecommunications system. LF 2 Recommendation K.37 (02/99) STD-ITU-T RECMN K-37-ENGL 3997 m 48b2593 Ob573b4 041 D interference is generally coupled into system cables serving the equipment. Whilst the majority of LF

43、 noise problems are conductive or inductive, there are instances of coupling by radiation Immunity is initially controlled by designing equipment to meet standardized test requirements, by network design, proper installation, environmental control, and maintenance and correct working methods. The co

44、ntrol of such emissions is the responsibility of the interferer, and in some instances a national authority. Generally, it is always most cost-effective for all parties concerned to solve the problem at source. In some instances, it may not be economical to design equipment to meet all circumstances

45、 and, as such, external mitigation techniques have to be used. 6 Equipment specifications The equipment shall be able to work without EMC problems in the environment where it is intended to be installed. For this reason the electromagnetic environment of telecommunications equipment has been classif

46、ied in to four classes l. This classification has been used in specifying test requirements for different telecommunications equipment 2 and 3. Emission requirements shall also be specified 4. The operator should specify the requirements by reference to the relevant ITU-T Recommendation or correspon

47、ding document and either check with the manufacturer or test himself that the equipment flfils the requirements. When considering low frequency aspects, the equipment shall generally be able to work without LF interference problems in the environment where it is intended to be installed (e.g. 200 mV

48、 common mode, psophometric noise should not cause a problem for voice circuits as per Recommendation K. 1 O). Recommendation K.34 11 defines the various classes of electromagnetic environment of telecommunications equipment. It is acknowledged that there will be circumstances when the interference l

49、evels are high enough to cause interference problems without resorting to uneconomical equipment designs for either party. This is generally a low fiequency interference problem, and other measures need to be considered in these circumstances. 7 Environment 7.1 Distance to interference sources It is not always practical to position telecommunication systems away from low frequency interference sources; in fact, the interferer may arrive at a later date and have an influence over a distance of a few kilometres. If no standard or Recommendation is being applied to the problem
