Fibre optic communication subsystem test procedures - Part 2-13: Digital systems - Measurement of error vector magnitude
IEC 61280-2-13:2024 series defines a procedure for calculating the root-mean-square error vector magnitude of optical n-APSK signals from a set of measured symbols. It specifically defines the normalization of the reference states and a procedure for optimal scaling of the measured symbol states. The procedure described in this document applies to single-polarized optical signals as well as to conventional polarization-multiplexed signals with independently modulated polarization tributaries. In general, it is not advisable to apply these procedures without modification to signals, in which optical amplitude, phase, and polarization state are simultaneously modulated to encode the information data. This document does not specify any signal processing steps for extracting the symbols from the received optical signals, because these steps depend on the optical receiver and can vary with the type of the transmitted n-APSK signal. These and optional additional signal processing steps are defined in application-specific documents.

Procédures d’essai des sous-systèmes de télécommunication fibroniques - Partie 2-13: Systèmes numériques - Mesure de l’amplitude du vecteur d’erreur
IEC 61280-2-13:2024 définit une procédure pour calculer la valeur efficace de l'amplitude du vecteur d'erreur des signaux MDAP-n optiques à partir d'un ensemble de symboles mesurés. Elle définit spécifiquement la normalisation des états de référence ainsi qu'une procédure de mise à l'échelle optimale des états de symboles mesurés. La procédure décrite dans le présent document s'applique aux signaux optiques à polarisation unique ainsi qu'aux signaux multiplexés en polarisation conventionnels avec des tributaires de polarisation modulés de façon indépendante. En général, il est déconseillé d'appliquer ces procédures sans modifier les signaux dans lesquels l'amplitude optique, la phase et l'état de polarisation sont simultanément modulés pour coder les données. Le présent document ne spécifie aucune étape de traitement du signal permettant d'extraire les symboles des signaux optiques reçus, car ces étapes dépendent du récepteur optique et peuvent varier selon le type du signal MDAP-n transmis. Ces étapes de traitement du signal ainsi des étapes supplémentaires facultatives sont définies dans les documents spécifiques à chaque application.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 61280-2-13 has been prepared by subcommittee 86C: Fibre optic systems and active
devices, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. It is an International Standard.
