Atfrequencies

Measurements are based on the use of a test generator with a frequency-independent e.m.f. and which has an impedance equal to the nominal impedance
9、.1.2.5 Transmission loss1.2.5.1 nominal transmission lossA connection through an analogue international exchange (see Figure 1/Q.45 bis) is established by connectingan input port located at one exchange boundary to an output port located at another exchange boundary in bothdirections.The nominal tra

13、 other ports of the connection through the exchange are terminated with the nominalimpedance.At any frequency from 300 to 600 Hz the return loss should be not less than 15 dB.

15、ZL = 150 ohms.The measured values should not be worse than:300- 600 Hz: 40 dB600-3400 Hz: 46 dBNote - Some Administrations guided by their knowledge of local conditions may feel a need to specify a valueof impedance unbalance about Earth for a lower frequency, for instance, 50 Hz.2.2 Values of relat

For the purpose of demonstration, these values are valid under thefollowing hypothetical assumptions
17、:- there is no transmission impairment between the points X and A and the points D and Y ofFigure 1/Q.45 bis;- the nominal relative levels Liand Loare determined by the corresponding nominal relative levels of thechannel translating equipment recommended for two cases in Table 2/G.232 7 corrected by

21、f a connection through an exchange via the switchblock (Points B and C in Figure 1/Q.45bis).The offset of the mean value of the distribution of the actual output relative levels Loshould be very close tozero but does not need to be specified.6 Fascicle VI.1 - Rec. Q.45 bis2.2.3 Dispersion of actual
22、valuesThe dispersion of actual values of the output relative level Lois mainly due to the diversity of paths in theswitchblock. The standard deviation of a representative distribution of the actual output relative levels measured at thenominal reference frequency should be as small as practicable. F
23、or purpose of calculation a value of 0.2 dB may beassumed.In order to confirm this value, it is considered sufficient that for purposes of design and acceptance testing, thedifference between the actual relative output levels at the nominal reference frequency of the shortest and longest pathsfrom p
24、oint B to point C in Figure 1/Q.45 bis in no case exceeds 0.8 dB. For a practical assessment of the average valueof the actual relative output level, the influence of the switchblock between points B and C can be achieved using thearithmetically computed mean of the maximum and minimum actual relati
25、ve output levels.These values apply for connections routed directly, and once only, through the switchblock. If special re-entrant trunking arrangements are used, requiring the connection to pass through the switchblock twice (this may be aconvenient way to extend the availability of the switching n
26、etwork or to introduce additional equipment, e.g. echosuppressors), the distribution of the actual relative output levels will be increased to lower values. In view of this, there-entrant technique should not be used to such an extent as to decrease significantly the mean value of the actualrelative
27、 output level distribution.2.3 Basic nominal values of transmission lossIn accordance with the definition in 1.2.5.1 and the basic nominal values of relative levels quoted in 2.2.1the following basic nominal values of transmission loss result for the purpose of demonstration:case 1 : NL = +4 dB - (-
28、14.5) dB = 18.5 dBcase 2 : NL = +7 dB - (-16.5) dB = 23.5 dB.2.4 Response to frequency and input level2.4.1 Loss distortion with frequencyThe loss distortion with frequency according to the definition in 1.2.6 measured on any 2-wire path ofconnection through the exchange between points A and D of Fi
29、gure 1/Q.45 bis should lie within the following limits:300- 400 Hz: -0.2 dB to +0.5 dB400-2400 Hz: -0.2 dB to +0.3 dB2400-3400 Hz: -0.2 dB to +0.5 dB.2.4.2 Variation of output level with input levelThe actual output level measured on any 2-wire path of a connection through the exchange between point
30、s Aand D of Figure 1/Q.45 bis should follow the input level with a variation not more than 0.2 dB in the range of the inputlevel from -40 dBm0 to +3.5 dBm0, using the reference frequency.2.4.3 Group delay distortion with frequencyAccording to the definition of group delay 9, the group delay distorti
31、on measured on any 2-wire path of aconnection through the exchange between points A and D of Figure 1/Q.45 bis over the frequency band 600 to 3000Hz should not exceed 100 microseconds.2.4.4 IntermodulationThe intermodulation products shall be measured on any 2-wire path of a connection through the e
32、xchangebetween points A and D of Figure 1 /Q.45 bis.Fascicle VI.1 - Rec. Q.45 bis 7The intermodulation products to be taken into account for end-to-end multifrequency signalling and for datatransmission are those of the third order, of type (2f1-f2) and (2f2-f1) where f1and f2are two signalling freq
33、uencies.For a measurement of the intermodulation products, the two frequencies applied to an input are f1= 900 Hzand f2= 1020 Hz (see 8). With each frequency f1and f2at a level of -6 dBm0, the difference at the output between thelevel of either frequency f1or f2and the level of either of the intermo
34、dulation products at (2f1-f2) or (2f2-f1) should beat least 40 dB.2.5 NoiseFor a 4-wire international exchange, noise measurements should be performed on a connection through theexchange between points A and D of Figure 1/Q.45 bis during the busy hour 10. Each port should be terminated with600 ohms.
35、 The noise should be measured at the output port of each 2-wire path and should be referred to a point ofzero relative level. Thus in Figure 1/Q.45 bis the noise in the 2-wire path of the GO direction is measured at point Dand the noise in the 2-wire path of the RETURN direction is measured at point
36、 D and the noise in the 2-wire path of theRETURN direction is measured at point A. A sufficient variety of connections should be chosen to ensure that themeasurements are representative of the various possible routes through the exchange.2.5.1 Weighted noiseThe mean value of the psophometrically wei
37、ghted noise over a long period during the busy-hour should notexceed - 67 dBm0p (200 pW0p).2.5.2 Unweighted noiseUnweighted noise has to be measured with a device having a uniform response curve throughout thefrequency band 31.5 Hz-16 kHz 11.The mean value of the unweighted noise over a long period
38、during the busy-hour should not exceed -40 dBm0(100,000 pW0).2.5.3 Impulsive noiseFor measurement procedure of impulsive noise see Annex A of this Recommendation.Noise counts should not exceed 5 counts in 5 minutes at a threshold level of -35 dBm0.Note - Figure 3/Q.45 bis shows the maximum number of
39、 impulsive noise counts acceptable in a 5-minuteperiod.2.6 CrosstalkCrosstalk should be measured in exchanges at a frequency of 1100 Hz in accordance withRecommendation G.134 12.2.6.1 Crosstalk between different connections(Inter-connection crosstalk)In an analogue international 4-wire exchange the
40、signal to crosstalk ratio measured at points A and D ofFigure 1/Q.45 bis between any 2-wire paths of different 4-wire connections through the exchange should be 70 dB orbetter.This limit of 70 dB should normally apply to the most unfavourable case, in which two connections haveparallel paths through
41、out the exchange. It should be noted that this does not occur in practice, because normal cablinglayout in such that when, at one switching stage, two connections use adjacent switches, in the following stage the twoconnections generally use switches which are not adjacent.2.6.2 Go-to-return crossta
42、lk of the same connection(Intra-connection crosstalk)The signal-to-crosstalk ratio between the GO and RETURN 2-wire path of the same 4-wire connectionthrough the exchange should be 60 dB or better.8 Fascicle VI.1 - Rec. Q.45 bis3 Use of cables specified by the IECThe cables for telephone exchanges i
43、n accordance with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)publication 189 13 will meet the electrical characteristics required by the CCITT (especially as regards crosstalk) forordinary exchanges, but this may no longer hold good for larger exchanges with considerable lengths of cable.In acco
44、rdance with Recommendation G.231 14, it will be for the Administrations or the contractors to checkwhether standard cables will be satisfactory in equipping an exchange which requires telephone cables of exceptionallength.ANNEX A(to Recommendation Q.45 bis, 2.5.3)Procedure for impulsive noise measur
