BS EN 50289-1-9:2017EN 50289-1-9:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard details the test methods to determine the attenuation of converted differential-mode signals into common-mode signals, and vice versa, due to balance characteristics of cables us
23、ed in analogue and digital communication systems by using the transmission measurement method. The unbalance attenuation is measured in, respectively converted to, standard operational conditions. If not otherwise specified, e.g. by product specifications, the standard operational conditions are a d
24、ifferential-mode which is matched with its nominal characteristic impedance (e.g. 100 ) and a common-mode which is loaded with 50 . The difference between the (image) unbalance attenuation (matched conditions in the differential and common-mode) to the operational (Betriebs) unbalance attenuation (m
25、atched conditions in differential-mode and 50 reference load in the common-mode) is small provided the common-mode impedance Zcomis in the range of 25 to 75 . For cables having a nominal impedance of 100 , the value of the common-mode impedance Zcomis about 75 for up to 25 pair- count unscreened pai
26、r cables, 50 for common screened pair cables and more than 25 pair- count unscreened pair cables, and 25 for individually screened pair cables. The impedance of the common-mode circuit Zcomcan be measured more precisely either with a time domain reflectometer (TDR) or a network analyser. The two con
27、ductors of the pair are connected together at both ends and the impedance is measured between these conductors and the return path. This European Standard is bound to be read in conjunction with EN 50289-1-1, which contains essential provisions for its application. 2 Normative references The followi

37、method 4.1 Method A: measurement using balun setup 4.1.1 Test equipment a) It is mandatory to create a defined return (common-mode) path. This is achieved by grounding all otherpairs and screen(s) if present in common to the balun ground. However in addition in the case ofunscreened cables the cable
38、 under test shall be wound onto a grounded metal drum. The drum surfacemay have a suitable groove, wide enough to contain the cable, and shall be adequate to hold 100 m ofcable in one layer. The pair under test shall be terminated with differential-mode and common-modeterminations and grounded at ne
39、ar and far endsb) A network analyser or generator/receiver combination suitable for the required frequency and dynamicrange.c) The baluns shall have a common-mode port and the characteristics given in EN 50289-1-1:2017,Table 1.d) Time domain reflectometer (optional).4.1.2 Test sample The ends of the
40、 cable under test (CUT) shall be prepared so that the twisting of the pairs/quads is maintained up to the terminals of the test equipment. If not otherwise specified the CUT shall have a length of 100 m 1 m. For the measurement or evaluation of the equal level unbalance attenuation at the far end th
41、e following applies: if the CUT length is not otherwise specified and the attenuation of the CUT at the highest frequency to be measured is higher than or equal to 80 dB the length of the CUT may be reduced to limit the attenuation to maximum 80 dB. All pairs not under test and all screens shall be
42、connected in common to the same ground as the balun at both ends of the CUT. BS EN 50289-1-9:2017EN 50289-1-9:2017 (E) 6 For unscreened cables the CUT shall be wound tightly around the metal drum in one layer. The distance between the windings should be at least the diameter of the cable. The metal
43、drum shall be connected to the same ground as the balun, e.g. by fixing the baluns to the drum. 4.1.3 Calibration procedure a) The reference line calibration (0 dB-line) shall be determined by connecting coaxial cables between theanalyser input and output. The same coaxial cables shall also be used
44、for the balun loss and unbalance attenuation measurements. The calibration shall be established over the whole frequency range specified in the relevant cable specification. This calibration method is valid for closely matched baluns that satisfy the characteristics of Table 1. b) Figure 1 gives the
45、 schematic for the measurement of the differential-mode loss of the baluns. Two balunsare connected back to back on the symmetrical output side and their attenuation measured over the specified frequency range. The connection between the two baluns shall be made with negligible loss. Key U0voltage a
