The object of the IEC is topromote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical andelectronic 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 inthe subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental andnon-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IECcollaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance withconditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees onwhich all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly aspossible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.3)They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technicalreports 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 InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.International Standard IEC 835-3-9 has been prepared by sub-committee 12E: Radio-relayand fixed satellite communications systems, of IEC technical committee 12: Radio-communications.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:DISReport on Voting

835-3-9 © IEC: 1993- 9 -INTRODUCTIONA block diagram of a typical SCPC-PSK terminal is shown in figure 1. The terminal may bedivided into two portions; the channel units and the intermediate frequency (i.f.)sub-system. The channel units accept voice or data signals and modulate i.f. carriers, andvice versa. Only one voice or data channel is processed by a channel unit. Therefore,numbers of channel units, the number depending on the traffic requirements, are usuallyinstalled in an earth station. The channel units for voice and data are different.For example, on the transmit-side, a channel unit for voice accepts a voice signal andconverts it to a PCM signal at 56 kbit/s. A voice detector is provided to detect theexistence of the voice signal and to radiate a carrier only while the voice signal is active.The output carrier therefore becomes a stream of short bursts. A channel synchronizer(transmit-side) attaches a preamble word at the beginning of each burst and inserts framesynchronizing words at specified intervals. The output signal of the channel synchronizer,e.g. 64 kbit/s, is applied to a PSK modulator where biphase or quadriphase phase shiftkeying modulation is performed on the carrier. The output carrier frequency is controlledby a transmit frequency synthesizer.On the receive-side, the received, PSK-modulated i.f. carrier is selected by a receivefrequency synthesizer and demodulated by a PSK demodulator. The demodulated PCMsignal, e.g. 64 kbit/s, is applied to a channel synchronizer (receive-side), and wordsynchronization is achieved. The voice signal is then recovered by a PCM decoder.In the case of a channel unit used for data signals, an incoming data signal, e.g. at abit-rate of 48 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s, is scrambled and combined with additional bits for errorcorrection in a data encoder. The encoded signal, e.g. 64 kbit/s, is then applied to a PSKmodulator which is the same as that used for voice signals. On the receive-side, therecovered signal from the PSK demodulator is applied to a data decoder, where correctcode synchronization is recovered and error correction is performed.The output signal of each PSK modulator is applied to an i.f. combiner in the i.f.sub-system and combined with each other. A reference pilot signal is also combined in thecase of the reference earth station. The combined i.f. signal is amplified and sent to theup-converter in the earth station i.f./r.f. equipment. The received i.f. signal from thedown-converter is first applied to automatic frequency control (a.f.c.) and automatic gaincontrol (a.g.c.) circuits, where any frequency inaccuracy arising from the local oscillatorsof the satellite transponder and/or earth station i.f./r.f. equipment is corrected using thereference pilot signal. The a.g.c. function also uses the pilot signal. The output frequencyof the a.f.c. and a.g.c. circuits may differ from the input frequency because of frequencyconversion during the a.f.c. function. It may also differ between manufacturers' equipment.The output signal is then divided by an i.f. divider and applied to the PSK demodulator ofthe channel units.SIST EN 60835-3-9:2002

835-3-9 ©IEC: 1993–13 –CCITT Recommendation 0.41: Specification for a psophometer for use on telephone –type circuitsCCITT Recommendation 0.131: Specification for a quantizing distortion measuringapparatus using a pseudo-random noise stimulusCCITT Recommendation 0.132: Specification for a quantizing distortion measuringequipment using a sinusoidal test signal3 PCM channel codecThe following methods of measurement are in accordance with CCITT Recommendations(see CCITT Recommendation G.712). The measurement can be performed by a loopbackconnection either at i.f., or at the digital side, of the PCM codec, whichever is the mostconvenient. A typical arrangement for measuring the performance of a PCM channelcodec is shown in figure 2. When the i.f. loopback connection method is used, the voicedetector circuit shall be disabled so that the i.f. signal is transmitted regardless of thepresence or absence of a voice input signal.3.1 Idle channel noise level3.1.1DefinitionThe idle channel noise level is the noise level at the output terminal of the PCM decoder inthe absence of the input voice signal.3.1.2 Method of measurementThe idle channel noise level is measured by noise measuring equipment connected to theoutput terminal of the PCM decoder with the input port of the PCM coder terminated by amatched load (see figure 2). A noise weighting network as specified in CCITTRecommendation 0.41 should be used.3.1.3 Presentation of resultsThe results should be expressed in dBmOp, that is, psophometrically weighted noise levelwith reference to the test tone level.3.1.4 Details to be specifiedThe following items should be included, as required, in the detailed equipmentspecification:a)the maximum permitted idle channel noise level;b)loopback connection method applied.3.2 Total distortion including quantizing distortion3.2.1DefinitionThe signal-to-total distortion (including quantizing distortion) ratio is the ratio of the voicesignal level to the total distortion level at the output terminal of the PCM decoder.SIST EN 60835-3-9:2002
835-3-9 © IEC: 1993- 15 -3.2.2 Method of measurementThe measurement can be performed by either of two methods. According to the firstmethod given in CCITT Recommendation 0.131, and shown in figure 3, a band-limitedpseudo-random noise signal (via filter F1, 350 Hz to 550 Hz), is applied to the inputterminal of the PCM coder at specified levels (e.g. in the range of -60 to 0 dBmO). At eachlevel, the noise at the PCM decoder output terminal is measured by a noise receiver in twobands; first in the band 350 Hz to 550 Hz via filter F1, then in the band 800 Hz to 3 400 Hzvia filter F2. The signal-to-total distortion ratio, given by the difference in decibelsbetween the levels thus measured, has to be scaled from the measuring band of filter F2(800 Hz to 3 400 Hz), to the total voice channel band (300 Hz to 3 400 Hz) by a factorequal to the ratio of these bands, that is by adding 0,76 dB to the result of themeasurement.According to the second method given in CCITT Recommendation 0.132, a sinusoi
