Foreword This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). The present d
14、ocument is designed to ensure a common approach to the measurement of emissions from PLC systems and to facilitate comparable and quantifiable information which Member States can report to the Communications Committee of the European Commission. The European Commission Recommendation of 6 April 2005
15、 on Broadband Electronic Communications through Powerlines states in clause 7: 7. Member States should report to the Communications Committee on a regular basis on the deployment and operations of powerline communications systems in their territory. Such reports should include any relevant data abou
16、t disturbance levels (including measurement data, related injected signal levels and other data useful for the drafting of a harmonized European standard), interference problems and any enforcement measures related to powerline communications systems. This Code of Practice deals with a number of iss
17、ues relating to the deployment of PLC systems, but concentrates, in the main, on measurement methodology and reporting. The principles proposed in this Code of Practice are designed to ensure an open and consistent measurement and reporting process, as required above, which should lead to the effect
18、ive evaluation of the impact of PLC systems on radio communications services and other cable networks. ETSI ETSI TR 102 552 V1.1.1 (2007-07) 5 1 Scope The present document is designed to ensure a common, open and consistent approach to the measurement and reporting process of emissions from publicly
19、 available broadband powerline communications systems and to facilitate comparable and quantifiable information which Member States can report to the Communications Committee of the European Commission following the European Commission Recommendation 2005/292/EC 3 on Broadband Electronic Communicati
20、ons through Powerlines in which it states in clause 7: 7. Member States should report to the Communications Committee on a regular basis on the deployment and operations of powerline communications systems in their territory. Such reports should include any relevant data about disturbance levels (in
21、cluding measurement data, related injected signal levels and other data useful for the drafting of a harmonized European standard), interference problems and any enforcement measures related to powerline communications systems. The present document is intended to be used in its entirety. The present
22、 document deals with a number of issues relating to the deployment of PLC systems, but concentrates, in the main, on measurement methodology and reporting. The present document is applicable to trials and commercial deployment of PLC systems in the European Union and is expected to be used by regula
23、tory authorities, operators of PLC systems and users of the radio spectrum. The present document addresses, inter alia, three principal issues as required by the European Commission Recommendation 2005/292/EC 3: Provision of details of any harmful interference caused by the operation of a PLC system
24、. Emission measurement methodology and reporting in cases of interference. Mitigating measures and their effectiveness in such cases. The present document calls for information on two levels in order to allow for a proper evaluation of the effect of PLC systems: The provision of generic information
25、concerning the deployment of PLC systems in Member States. Specific information about particular PLC systems where harmful interference has been caused to radio services. 2 References For the purposes of this Technical Report (TR) the following references apply: NOTE: While any hyperlinks included i

31、ance of a device, equipment or system, or adversely affect living or inert matter NOTE: Refer to IEC IEV 161-01-05. harmful interference: interference which endangers the functioning of a radio navigation service or of other safety services, or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts
32、 a radiocommunication service operating in accordance with Radio Regulations NOTE: Source: ITU Radio Regulations. measuring system: combination of measurement antenna, receiver and associated equipment, including cables PLC system: system or part of a system that transmits and receives electromagnet
33、ic energy on frequencies above 9 kHz by conduction over medium and/or low voltage electric power lines, with the purpose of carrying information 4 Provision of Information In order to assess the impact of PLC systems on other services information should be provided in a consistent format, to facilit
34、ate collation, comparison and evaluation. This code specifies two types of information to be provided on PLC systems: Background information on the deployment of PLC systems. Specific information in cases of harmful interference. 4.1 Background Information For each PLC network the measurement report
35、 should contain the following: System operator address and contact details. The name address and contact details of the electricity network owner involved. Physical nature of electricity network: overhead wiring / underground wiring / mixture. The location of the PLC system: rural / semi-rural / urb
36、an / industrial. The technical characteristics of the system - manufacturer, technology, frequency spectrum utilized and maximum injection signal levels. An indication of the number of households passed and the number of households subscribing. Date of activation. ETSI ETSI TR 102 552 V1.1.1 (2007-0
37、7) 7 In order to help identify and resolve cases of harmful interference, National Administrations are encouraged to adopt an open approach to publicizing the above information on PLC systems operating within their territory. 4.2 Specific Information in cases of harmful interference from a PLC syste
38、m In cases of harmful interference, data should be reported indicating the nature of the interference and the technical and operational characteristics of the PLC system concerned. An assessment of radio interference should be carried out where preliminary mitigation measures have been ineffective:
39、following the guidance given in the ECC Recommendation (05)04 2; using an alternative method provided this is documented in the test report. It may be necessary for PLC operators to change operational conditions, which may include selective closedown of a system (including repeaters) for short perio
40、ds to aid identification of the source of interference. Where remedial action has been taken this should be reported and described in detail if possible. It is recommended that a general common reporting format (see annex A) be developed to aid collation and analysis of the results of cases of inter
41、ference across Europe. In addition to the information required in clause 4.1 the following information should be provided in cases of harmful interference: Network status at time of interference, the operating mode of the network such as active, passive or test or other mode. Number of interference
42、cases reported in the specific location and type of premises (house, flat, high-rise, housing density etc.). Identification of the service experiencing interference and frequencies affected. Where applicable relevant details of equipment affected parameters e.g. antenna characteristics. An electrica
43、l network plan, where this has been used in measurements. Distance from PLC network cabling and the levels of both the wanted signals and the disturbance at the equipment affected Description of what mitigation measures have been applied and whether these have been successful. The investigation repo
44、rt may also contain the following where appropriate: name of organization making the measurement; location of the measurements and description of the location including whether indoor or outdoor; description of the installation subject to interference; time and date of the measurement; details of th
45、e measuring equipment; set-up of the measuring equipment including any deviations from standard practice; ambient noise at the measurement site; measuring system noise floor; field strength of the wanted signal; field strengths of disturbance at victim location; ETSI ETSI TR 102 552 V1.1.1 (2007-07)
46、 8 method used to extrapolate to the reference distance in case measurements are not made at reference distance; photographs or drawing of the measurement location. 5 Emission measurement methodology This clause specifies measurement procedures and guidelines for the documentation of measurements. W
47、here applicable, the methods should rely on already published documents either in CISPR, ETSI or CENELEC. 5.1 General Arrangements In order to assess the disturbances, the PLC system should operate under normal operating conditions during the measurements. An initial measurement survey should be car
48、ried out to determine the variation of the disturbance levels at the location. The measurement antenna should be located as close as practical to the reported location of the equipment affected. An initial sweep over a range of representative frequencies should be made, including the operational fre
49、quencies of the equipment being affected, in order to identify the interference mechanism and disturbance frequencies. Where outdoor measurements are made an electricity distribution network plan should be used. The measurement report should state any deviation from standardized measurement procedure. 5.2 Swept Frequency Emission Measurements The following clauses define the recommended process. Program the receiver to scan between two frequencies that lie either side of the known PLC s
