which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.

INTRODUCTION
In most digital radio-relay systems it is not possible to separate the digital signal
processing sub-systems from the modulator or demodulator, i.e. the interface points are
not accessible. This is why some processing functions, such as differential
coding/decoding, series-parallel conversion etc., may be considered as part of the
modulator/demodulator. Consequently, the measurements carried out on the transmit- and
receive-signal processing sub-systems in closed loop do not take into account the
performance of the individual parts of the signal processor inside the modulator and the
demodulator, while the measurements carried out on the complete system take into
account the performances of the radio part of the system.
In the following clauses, measurements on the signal processor in its general
configuration, i.e., with multiplex facilities, are described. In the case of some types of signal
processing (e.g. without multiplex facilities) performed inside the modulator/demodulator,
most of the following measurements do not apply.
Type and acceptance tests are grouped into three parts:
— measurements on the transmit-signal processor are presented in clause 3;
— measurements on the receive-signal processor are presented in clause 4;
measurements on the back-to-back connected transmitter-receiver systems are
—
presented in clause 5.
The measurements are normally taken at each input/output port, while the unused input
ports are supplied by pseudo-random bit-stream (PRBS) signals, and the unused output
ports are terminated with their nominal impedances.

METHODS OF MEASUREMENT FOR EQUIPMENT
USED IN DIGITAL MICROWAVE RADIO
TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
Part 2: Measurements on terrestrial
radio-relay systems
Section 5: Digital signal processing
sub-system
1 Scope
This section deals with the methods of measurement on a digital radio signal processing
sub-system.
The digital signal processing sub-system is, in general, able to perform the following
principal functions:
— multiplexing of two or more bit streams (see IEC 835-2-9, "Service Channels",
figure 1);
transmission quality evaluation for switching purposes and/or alarm indicating
—
signal (AIS) insertion;
coding and multiplexing of digital service channels, (see note);
-
— scrambling and descrambling;
— series-to-parallel and parallel-to-series conversion.
System configurations differ, so some of the above functions may be missing, in which
case only the measurements relating to those functions present should be taken into
consideration.
In digital radio-relay systems, many system configurations exist where non-hierarchical bit
rates are used. In such cases, multiplex equipment is used in order to transmit more than
one hierarchical bit stream and/or additional service channels (e.g. 34 Mbit/s and
140 Mbit/s with bit inse rtion for parity bits and digital service channels, 2 x 34 Mbit/s, etc).
For low bit rate systems, e.g. < 2 Mbit/s it may not be practicable to perform tests at very
low BERs because of the excessively long measurement times involved.
Additionally, in many cases parity bits are transmitted for quality control and switching
rface
purposes. However, as far as possible, the system should be tested at defined inte
points such as those considered by the CCITT Recommendation G.703.
NOTE - Digital service channels are dealt with in IEC 835-2-9.

See IEC 835-1-2.
3.2 Alarm characteristics
3.2.1 General considerations
The transmit-signal processor has some alarms relating to the incoming signal and to the
correct working of the processor itself. The alarm signals are, in general, used by
switching equipment and/or an AIS generator. The time to initiate and to restore the alarm
may be of particular importance in the complete radio system.
Below, two alarms are considered. One alarm is activated by the loss of the signal at the
input of the sub-system. The other alarm is controlled by the elastic store of the
sub-system in the justification process.
3.2.2 Method of measurement
3.2.2.1 Loss-of-signal alarm
An example of a test arrangement is shown in figure 1.
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 60835-2-5:2002
835-2-5 ©IEC: 1993 – 15 –
The equipment under test is driven, via a switch, by a pattern generator supplying a PRBS
at a nominal bit rate with a defined length pattern (see CCITT Recommendation G.703).
The alarm signal is displayed on an oscilloscope. By driving the switch with a low
frequency (I.f.) pulse generator, it is possible to drive repeatedly the sub-system into the
alarm condition, and to restore the normal condition while displaying the operate and
release alarm signal on an oscilloscope. When driving the switch by a single-shot signal, it
may be necessary to use a storage oscilloscope to display the result of the measurement.
3.2.2.2 Overflow alarm
The measurement is made by filling the elastic store as quickly as possible in order to
drive the sub-system into the alarm condition, and then measuring the time interval taken
to give the alarm. This can be performed by driving the transmit-signal processor with a
jittered PRBS signal with greater than maximum tolerable jitter.
An example of a test arrangement is given in figure 2. The equipment under test is driven
by a jitter generator.
In order to use an oscilloscope without storage, it may be convenient to drive the
equipment under test periodically into the alarm condition using a I.f. pulse generator.
To determine the time interval needed to initiate the alarm, it is necessary to refer to the
be the maximum
tolerable input jitter measurement of the equipment under test. Let t .
f. Driving the
tolerable peak-to-peak amplitude of the sinusoidal jitter at frequency
equipment under test with a sinusoidal jittered PRBS at frequency fi with i = ati•, where
l characteristics are
a > 1, it is possible to display the alarm operate and release. Gener a
shown in figure 3; fi is generally of the order of 10 2 Hz to 103 Hz, with a = 1,5.
Alternatively, when the limit on the tolerable input jitter of the clock extractor circuit is less
than that of the elastic store, i.e. the clock extractor circuit has a high Q-factor, it is almost
impossible to drive the sub-system into the alarm condition by this method. In such a case
it is necessary to stop the justification process (dashed line JP in figure 2). The
measurement is then performed in the same way as described above.
By stopping the justification process, it is possible to perform the measurement
independently of the Q-factor of the clock extractor circuit at the input to the
transmit-signal processor, but it is generally necessary to access test points inside the
equipment to do so.
Presentation of results
3.2.3
The results should be presented either as copies of the oscilloscope display or by stating
the operating- and release-times of the alarm.

equipment specification:
