26、everal parameters, such as bit-error ratio (BER), jitter and acceptable input interruption. The BER is the most important parameter related to system transmission performance. Parameters other than the BER, for example, error-free seconds, are applicable to transmission rates up to64kbit/s. Their ap

27、plication to higher bit rates is under consideration (see2 1) ). 1 Scope This section of IEC835-1 deals with the measurement of transmission performance and is applicable to simulated digital microwave transmission systems or sub-systems. The transmission parameters should normally be measured at in

28、terface points recommended by the CCITT (see1). In special cases when equipment specifications require measurements at other ports (e.g.between modulator input and demodulator output terminals), interface circuits between the measuring equipment and the equipment under test may be necessary. 2 Bit e

29、rror ratio 2.1 Definition and general considerations The bit-error-ratio, BER, is defined as follows (see3): where: The BER is measured by comparing, bit by bit, the coincidence, or non-coincidence, of the transmitted and received bit streams. The arrangement for BER measurement is shown inFigure 1.

30、 The comparison of the transmitted and received bit streams is made and the number of errored bits is counted. The preferred test signal to be applied to the equipment under test is one having a pseudo-random pattern with a pattern length of either2 15 1 or2 23 1, depending on the nominal bit-rate o

31、f the transmission system (see4), but a selectable or programmable word pattern is sometimes used for testing the effect of specific patterns on the BER characteristics. Equation(3-1) can give an estimate of the error probability. The accuracy of this estimate increases asN eincreases, but the pract

32、ical limitations of the measurement time interval usually set a limit to the value ofN e . Assuming a random distribution of errors independent of each other and with a constant probability, i.e.according to Poissons law, the minimum acceptable value ofN eis approximately10. In this case, the true e

33、rror probability is contained in a range equal to 50% aroundN e /N twith a confidence coefficient of90% (see3). Depending on the circuit configuration, for example high spectral efficiency systems, the distribution of errors may be structured. In such cases the minimum acceptable value ofN eshould b

34、e correspondingly increased. The measurement time interval of the BER needs to be long enough to obtain the required accuracy. If a BER ofn 10 pis to be measured on a bit-stream having a bit rateB, the required measuring time t ois given by: For example, assumingN e =10 and a BER of10 -7is to be mea

35、sured at6,3Mbit/s,t oshall be longer than16s. 2.2 Method of measurement The arrangement for the measurement of BER is shown inFigure 1. The measuring instrument has a transmit portion comprising a pseudo-random test-pattern generator, a receive portion comprising an identical local reference-pattern

36、 generator and a comparator for comparing the received and locally generated reference patterns. An error counter counts the errors whenever the received and locally generated bits are not identical, and the ratio of the errored bits to the total number of bits, i.e.the BER, is displayed by the erro

37、r counter. 1) References in brackets are given inAnnex A: Bibliography. (3-1) N e is the number of bit errors in a time intervalt o N t is the total number of transmitted bits in a time intervalt o B is the bit-rate of the signal at the point where the measurement is made t o is the measurement time

38、 interval in seconds (error-counting time) (3-2)EN60835-1-4:1995 4 BSI 03-2000 The bit rate of the test pattern is usually selectable to permit the generation of the hierarchical bit rates given in1. However an external clock input is also usually available for generating non-hierarchical bit rates.

39、 The receive pattern generator is normally synchronized by the clock signal extracted from the incoming bit stream. A BER measurement range of at least10 2or10 3to10 8 or10 9should be covered. The choice of the extreme values depends on the hardware configuration and on the digital rate. In making t

40、he test, the demodulator input should be connected and disconnected several times and the highest measured BER should be recorded. When there are two or more baseband channels in the equipment under test, sufficiently uncorrelated pulse streams need to be applied to the channels and the measurements

41、 made one channel at a time. The BER is measured as a function of the specified receiver input conditions as described in the appropriate sections of parts2 and3 of IEC835. 2.3 Presentation of results The BER is expressed as a function of some appropriate parameter of the equipment being measured, s

42、uch as receiver input level. 2.4 Details to be specified The following items should be included, as required, in the detailed equipment specification: a) ports between which the measurement is to be made; b) main interface conditions, e.g.bit rate, level, impedance and coding of the signal; c) speci

43、fied receiver input levels, as appropriate; d) type and length of the test pattern; e) limiting bit error ratio characteristic; f) measurement time interval or number of errors by measurement. 3 Additional parameters This clause describes residual bit-error ratio. Other additional parameters remain

44、under consideration by other international organizations. 3.1 Residual bit-error ratio 3.1.1 Definition and general considerations Residual bit-error ratio (RBER) for digital microwave radio transmission systems is an indispensable factor to guarantee the system performance. NOTEThe RBER is the erro

45、r ratio in the absence of fading and includes allowance for system-inherent errors, environmental and ageing effects and long-term interference. The RBER should be measured with the equipment under test operating under normal conditions. An integration time should be chosen using a value given by eq

46、uation(3-2) in3.2. The BER measurements are carried out repeatedly with the fixed integration time and the RBER may be defined as the highest BER not exceeded in a specified percentage of integration intervals. The BER measurement period of one day may be appropriate. 3.1.2 Method of measurement The

47、 RBER is obtained by taking BER measurements (seeclause2) over a long period,e.g.24h, using a long integration time, e.g.15min. These examples are related for systems with a capacity of about100Mbit/s and an RBER of1 10 10 . In case of terrestrial radio-relay systems, the measurements should be carr

48、ied out with long-term interference, if required, in the absence of fading (seeIEC835-2-10). In the case of satellite communication systems, a high carrier-to-noise ratio condition should be applied (see IEC835-3-12). The measuring of the BER shall be recorded in order to obtain the highest BER not

49、exceeded in a specified percentage of integration intervals. It is advisable to record the power supply voltage and room temperature, etc.,at the same time as the BER, in order to identify any causes of error and to discard incorrect measurements produced by environmental effects which would not happen in a real link. 3.1.3 Presentation of results The residual bit-error ratio shall be expressed as the highest BER not exceeded in a specified percentage of integration intervals. 3.1.4 Details to be spec
