29、r.f. amplifier, a filter or a transmit-receive section between the output port of the digital modulator and the input port of the following digital demodulator. The methods described are applicable to complete systems or to sub-systems. No restrictions are made with respect to intermediate or radio

30、frequency ranges so that measurements between terminals of the same frequency range (i.f. or r.f.) or different ranges (i.f. to r.f. or r.f. to i.f.) are possible using the methods of measurement described. When adaptive equalizers are employed they shouldbe rendered inoperative, if possible, before

31、 carrying out any of the measurements described in this section. Methods of measurement for adaptive equalizers are described in IEC 835-2-8 (under consideration). 1 Scope This section of IEC 835-1 deals with methods of measurement of the characteristics which may be of importance for the transmissi

32、on performance of microwave systems with digital modulation. The need to carry out any particular measurement and the limits to be met depend, for example, on the bit rate and the method of modulation. 2 Amplitude/frequency characteristic 2.1 Definition and general considerations The amplitude/frequ

33、ency characteristic is given by the curve representing the difference, expressed in decibels, between the output level and a nominal level, as a function of frequency for a constant input level. The significance of the measurement made on linear equipment differs from that made on equipment incorpor

34、ating non-linear devices. For example, when the equipment incorporates a limiter or an amplifier with automatic gain control (a.g.c.), the amplitude/frequency characteristic of the stages preceding these devices will appear to be compressed; therefore the a.g.c. should be disconnected before making

35、the measurement. 2.2 Methods of measurement Measurements may be made using either point-by-point or swept-frequency methods. For the latter case, an example of the measurement arrangement is shown in Figure 1. When using the sweep-frequency method, the repetition rate of the sweep-frequency within t

36、he generator is normally in the range of 10 Hz to 100 Hz with a sinusoidal wave-form. The centre frequency and sweep deviation should be adjusted to the nominal values. The test arrangement in Figure 1 may also be used for end-to-end measurements, and the sweep voltageforthe X-deflection of the disp

37、lay can be obtained from the receiver part. The i.f. bandwidth of the i.f. envelope detector should be at least 50 to 100 times the chosen sweep rate. The Y-axis should be calibrated in decibels in different ranges from only a few decibels for measurements in the pass-band, up to some tens of decibe

38、ls for filter measurements in the stop-band. These features are normally to be found in test equipment of the link analyser type. With a constant input level, the output level is determined as a function of the frequency. Themeasurements may be repeated for a restricted number of different input lev

39、els within the normalrange of input levels specified for the equipment under test. The measurement may be extended to include frequencies on either side of the pass-band. In such cases, the signal will be appreciably attenuated and it will be necessary therefore to use a selective voltmeter or selec

40、tive level-meter to avoid errors caused by harmonics. 2.3 Presentation of results 2.3.1 Amplitude/frequency characteristic The results of the measurements should be presented, preferably, as an XY-record or photograph of the oscilloscope display as shown in Figure 2. Both the horizontal and the vert

41、ical scales of the oscilloscope display should be calibrated.EN60835-1-3:1995 4 BSI 03-2000 When the results of the measurements are not presented graphically, they should be given as in the following example for an i.f. sub-system: Amplitude/frequency characteristic is within 0,2 dB to + 0,1 dB wit

42、h reference to 70 MHz, from 60 MHz to80 MHz. 2.3.2 Ripple components When ripple components are easily identifiable from the measured characteristic, they should be expressed in decibels, peak-to-peak and the ripple frequency should be stated. 2.4 Details to be specified The following items should b

43、e included as required in the detailed equipment specification: a) permitted limits of amplitude variation; b) frequency limits; c) reference frequency; d) input levels; e) peak-to-peak amplitude and frequency of ripple components, if applicable. 3 Group-delay/frequency characteristic 3.1 Definition

44、 and general considerations The group-delay/frequency characteristic of a network is the first derivative of the phase/angular frequency characteristic and is expressed in seconds. It is usual to measure group-delay variation, which is the difference between the group-delay as stated above and the g

45、roup-delay at a reference frequency. The significance of the measurement when made on linear equipment is different from that made on equipment incorporating non-linear devices. When the equipment incorporates a limiter exhibiting amplitude modulation/phase modulation conversion effects, “coupled” o

46、r “indirect” distortion will be introduced: for example amplitude/frequency variation prior to such a limiter will result in an apparent change of group-delay. 3.2 Method of measurement In the preferred method shown in Figure 1, a sweep-signal having a frequency f sbetween 10 Hz and 100 Hz and abase

47、band test-signal having a frequency f t(below 1 MHz but higher than f s ), are fed to the baseband input(s) of a high-quality (test) modulator which generates a frequency-modulated i.f. signal at a high modulation index by the sweep-signal, and at a low modulation index by the baseband test signal.

48、The modulated i.f. signal is fed to the equipment under test and is then demodulated by a high-quality (test) demodulator which recovers the baseband test-signal (f t ). As the i.f. signal is swept over the i.f.bandwidth, the demodulated baseband test signal undergoes amplitude and phase variations.

49、 Thesignal from the phase detector is proportional to the i.f. group-delay. For testing r.f. equipment, up-and-down convertors with negligible inherent distortion are used between the i.f. ports of the measuring equipment and the r.f. port of the equipment under test. The following conditions should apply: a) The modulation index and test signal frequency (f t ) should be small enough to ensure that the corresponding spectrum occupies a bandwidth within which the group-delay characteristics of the network under t
