Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services -- Part 8: Electromagnetic compatibility for networks

EN 50083-8 applies to the radiation characteristics and immunity to electromagnetic disturbance of cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services and covers the frequency range 0,15 MHz to 3,5 GHz. It should be noted that measurements below 30 MHz are not generally considered useful in the context of cable networks and are difficult to perform in practice. Application of the harmonized standard EN 50529-2 provides presumption of conformance to the EMC Directive. Therefore, to fulfil the requirements of EN 50529-2, it is necessary to use cable network equipment that satisfies the requirements of EN 50083-2 regarding limits of radiation and of immunity to external fields. This European Standard specifies methods of measurement and EMC performance requirements under operating conditions (in situ) to ensure the ongoing EMC integrity of cable networks. Cable networks beyond the system outlets (e.g. the receiver lead, in simplest terms) which begin at the system outlet and end at the input to the subscriber's terminal equipment are not covered by the standard EN 50083-8. Requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of receiver leads are laid down in EN 60966-2-4, EN 60966-2-5 and EN 60966-2-6. Cable networks and a wide range of radio services have to coexist. These include for example the emergency services, safety of life, broadcasting, aeronautical, radio navigation services and also land mobile, amateur and cellular radio services. Frequency ranges of typical safety of life services are listed in Annex B. Additional protection for certain services may be required by national regulations.

Réseaux de distribution par câbles pour signaux de télévision, signaux de radiodiffusion sonore et services interactifs -- Partie 8: Compatibilité électromagnétique des réseaux

1.1 Généralités Les normes des EN 50083 et EN 60728 traitent des réseaux de distribution par câbles, y compris les matériels et les méthodes de mesure associées pour la réception en tête de réseau, le traitement et la distribution des signaux de télévision et de radiodiffusion sonore et pour le traitement, l'interfaçage et l'émission de toutes sortes de signaux pour les services interactifs en utilisant tout support de transmission approprié. Ces signaux sont typiquement émis dans les réseaux par des techniques de multiplexage de fréquences. Cela inclut, par exemple  les réseaux régionaux et locaux de distribution par câbles à large bande,  les systèmes étendus de distribution de télévision satellitaire et terrestre,  les systèmes individuels de réception de télévision satellitaire et terrestre, et toutes sortes de matériels, de systèmes et d’installations utilisés dans de tels réseaux de distribution par câbles, systèmes de distribution et de réception. Ces normes couvrent la partie s'étendant des antennes et/ou des entrées de la tête de réseau pour source spécifique de signal ou d'autres points d'interface d'accès au réseau, jusqu'à l'entrée de terminal de l'équipement des locaux client Ces normes prendront en considération la coexistence avec des utilisateurs du spectre RF dans des systèmes d'émission tant filaires que sans fils. Sont exclus de ces normes tous les terminaux d'usager (à savoir les syntoniseurs, les récepteurs, les décodeurs, les terminaux multimédias, etc.) ainsi que tous les câbles coaxiaux, symétriques ou à fibres optiques et leurs accessoires. 1.2 Domaine d'application spécifique de la EN 50083 8 La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux caractéristiques de rayonnement et à l’immunité aux perturbations électromagnétiques des réseaux de distribution par câbles pour les signaux de télévision, les signaux de radiodiffusion sonore et les services interactifs et couvre la bande de fréquences de 0,15 MHz à 3,5 GHz. Il convient de noter que les mesures en dessous de 30 MHz ne sont généralement pas considérées comme étant utiles dans le contexte des réseaux de distribution par câbles et sont difficiles à réaliser dans la pratique. L'application de la norme harmonisée EN 50529-2 fournit la présomption de conformité à la Directive CEM. Par conséquent, pour satisfaire aux exigences de la EN 50529-2, il est nécessaire d'utiliser un matériel de réseau de distribution par câbles qui satisfasse aux exigences de la EN 50083-2 relatives aux limites de rayonnement et d'immunité aux champs extérieurs. La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de mesure et les exigences de compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) dans des conditions opératoires (in situ) pour assurer l'intégrité CEM en cours des réseaux de distribution par câbles. Les réseaux de distribution par câbles en aval des prises d’usager (par exemple, le cordon de raccordement, en termes plus simples) qui commencent à la prise d’usager et finissent à l'entrée de l'équipement terminal d’abonné ne sont pas couverts par la norme EN 50083-8. Les exigences relatives à la compatibilité électromagnétique des cordons de raccordement sont données dans les EN 60966-2-4, EN 60966-2-5 et EN 60966-2-6. Les réseaux de distribution par câbles et une large gamme de services radioélectriques doivent coexister. Ces services comprennent, par exemple, les services de secours, les services liés à la sécurité, les services de radiodiffusion, les services aéronautiques, les services de radionavigation et également les services mobiles terrestres, les services de radioamateurs et les services de radiocommunications cellulaires. Les gammes de fréquences des services de secours typiques sont énumérées en ‎Annexe B. Des règlements nationaux peuvent exiger une protection complémentaire pour certains services.

Foreword
This document (EN 50083-8:2013) has been prepared by CLC/TC 209 "Cable networks for television signals,
sound signals and interactive services".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has (dop) 2014-11-08
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2016-11-08
• latest date by which the national
standards conflicting with this
document have to be withdrawn

This document supersedes EN 50083-8:2002 + A11:2008.
EN 50083-8:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50083-8:2002 and
EN 50083-8/A11:2008.
 EN 50083-8 with its methods of measurement and EMC performance requirements is explicitly dedicated
to “under operating conditions (in situ)” to ensure the ongoing EMC integrity of cable networks.
 The harmonized standard EN 50529-2 is dedicated for the provision of presumption of conformance to
the EMC Directive.
st
 The first intermediate frequency range (1 IF range) for satellite signal transmission was extended to
cover now frequencies from 950 MHz up to 3 500 MHz.
 The method of measurement and the requirements for in-band immunity were extended taking into
account the new EMC environment due to the allocation of broadband wireless services in the frequency
band 790 MHz to 862 MHz. As a consequence, the limits of in-band immunity were specified for analogue
and additionally for digital signals in this frequency range.
 The substitution method of measurement (power method) was deleted.
 EMC measurements below 30 MHz were deleted
 New Annex D “Measurement in other distances than the standard distance of 3 m”
 New Annex E “GPS based leakage detection system for cable networks”
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
1.1 General
Standards of the EN 50083 and EN 60728 series deal with cable networks including equipment and
associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of television and
sound signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of data signals for interactive services
using all applicable transmission media. These signals are typically transmitted in networks by frequency-
multiplexing techniques.
This includes for instance
 regional and local broadband cable networks,
 extended satellite and terrestrial television distribution systems,
 individual satellite and terrestrial television receiving systems,
and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations used in such cable networks, distribution and receiving
systems.
The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas and/or special signal source inputs to the
headend or other interface points to the network up to the terminal input of the customer premises equipment.
The standardization work will consider coexistence with users of the RF spectrum in wired and wireless
transmission systems.
The standardization of any user terminals (i.e. tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.) as well
as of any coaxial, balanced and optical cables and accessories thereof is excluded.
1.2 Specific scope of EN 50083-8
This European Standard applies to the radiation characteristics and immunity to electromagnetic disturbance
of cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services and covers the frequency
range 0,15 MHz to 3,5 GHz. It should be noted that measurements below 30 MHz are not generally
considered useful in the context of cable networks and are difficult to perform in practice.
Application of the harmonized standard EN 50529-2 provides presumption of conformance to the EMC
Directive. Therefore, to fulfil the requirements of EN 50529-2, it is necessary to use cable network equipment
that satisfies the requirements of EN 50083-2 regarding limits of radiation and of immunity to external fields.
This European Standard specifies methods of measurement and EMC performance requirements under
operating conditions (in situ) to ensure the ongoing EMC integrity of cable networks.
Cable networks beyond the system outlets (e.g. the receiver lead, in simplest terms) which begin at the
system outlet and end at the input to the subscriber's terminal equipment are not covered by the standard
EN 50083-8. Requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of receiver leads are laid down in
EN 60966-2-4, EN 60966-2-5 and EN 60966-2-6.
Cable networks and a wide range of radio services have to coexist. These include for example the emergency
services, safety of life, broadcasting, aeronautical, radio navigation services and also land mobile, amateur
and cellular radio services. Frequency ranges of typical safety of life services are listed in Annex B. Additional
protection for certain services may be required by national regulations.

4 Methods of measurement
4.1 Basic principles
These methods of measurement describe the procedures for the testing of cable networks. The purpose of the
measurements is to determine:
 the level of radiation generated by cable networks and
 the immunity of cable networks to external field strengths (e.g. those radiated by other
radiocommunication services and RF applications).
The measurements cover the essential parameters and environmental conditions in order to assess cases of
electromagnetic incompatibility between cable networks and other electrical or electronic equipment,
networks, installations or other cabled networks with respect to the intended operation of such cable networks.
During the test the cable network shall operate within its normal operating conditions e.g. with regard to the
signal level and signal quality at the system outlets.
NOTE Methods of measurement for radiated digitally modulated signals are under consideration. For digital egress
measurements, where the level of emission is such that the signal is indeterminate from the general and other background
noise, an analogue substitution method is employed, by using an analogue video carrier where possible.
