25、IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organisation for standardisation comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardisation in the electrical

26、and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governme

27、ntal and non-governmental organisations liasing with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organisations. 2) The formal decisions o

28、r agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested National Committees. 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for intern

29、ational use and are published in the form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards trans

30、parently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rend

31、ered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such pate

32、nt rights. International Standard IEC 61280-2-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 86C: Fibre optic systems and active devices, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 86C/485/FDIS 86C/505/RVD Full information o

35、ing Q-factor measurements 1 Scope This part of IEC 61280 specifies two main methods for the determination of low BER values by making accelerated measurements. These include the variable decision threshold method (Clause 4) and the variable optical threshold method (Clause 5). In addition, a third m

39、-random binary sequence 3 Measurement of low bit-error ratios 3.1 General considerations Fibre optic communication systems and subsystems are inherently capable of providing exceptionally good error performance, even at very high bit rates. The mean bit error ratio (BER) may typically lie in the reg

40、ion 1012to 1020, depending on the nature of the system. While this type of performance is well in excess of practical performance requirements for digital signals, it gives the advantage of concatenating many links over long distances without the need to employ error correction techniques. The measu

41、rement of such low error ratios presents special problems in terms of the time taken to measure a sufficiently large number of errors to obtain a statistically significant result. Table 1 presents the mean time required to accumulate 15 errors. This number of errors can be regarded as statistically

42、significant, offering a confidence level of 75 % with a variability of 50 %.

45、s given in Table 1 show that the direct measurement of the low BER values expected from fibre optic systems is not practical during installation and maintenance operations. One way of overcoming this difficulty is to artificially impair the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver in a controlled manne

46、r, thus significantly increasing the BER and reducing the measurement time. The error performance is measured for various levels of impairment, and the results are then extrapolated to a level of zero impairment using computational or graphical methods according to theoretical or empirical regressio

47、n algorithms. The difficulty presented by the use of any regression technique for the determination of the error performance is that the theoretical BER value is related to the level of impairment via the inverse error function (erfc). This means that very small changes in the impairment lead to ver

48、y large changes in BER; for example, in the region of a BER value of 1015a change of approximately 1 dB in the level of impairment results in a 61280-2-8 IEC:2003(E) adopted as TIA-455-235 3change of three orders of magnitude in the BER. A further difficulty is that a method based on extrapolation i

49、s unlikely to reveal a levelling off of the BER at only about 3 orders of magnitude below the lowest measured value. It should also be noted that, in the case of digitally regenerated sections, the results obtained apply only to the regenerated section whose receiver is under test. Errors generated in upstream regenerated sections may generate an error plateau which may have to be taken into account in the error performance evaluation of the regenerator section under test.
