1 Scope
1.1 General
Standards of EN 50083 series deal with cable networks for television signals, sound signals and
interactive services including equipment, systems and installations
• for headend reception, processing and distribution of television and sound signals and
their associated data signals and
• for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services
using all applicable transmission media.

All kinds of networks like
• CATV-networks,
• MATV-networks and SMATV-networks,
• Individual receiving networks
and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations installed in such networks, are within this
scope.

The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas, special signal source inputs to the
headend or other interface points to the network up to the system outlet or the terminal input,
where no system outlet exists.

The standardization of any user terminals (i.e. tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals
etc.) as well as of any coaxial and optical cables and accessories therefor is excluded.
1.2 Specific scope of this part 5
This standard defines the characteristics of equipment used in the headends of terrestrial
broadcast and satellite receiving systems (without satellite outdoor units and without those
broadband amplifiers in the headend as described in EN 50083-3). The satellite outdoor units
for FSS are described in standard ETS 300 158, for BSS in standard ETS 300 249. Test
methods for both types (FSS and BSS) of satellite outdoor units are laid down in ETS 300 457.
This standard
• covers the frequency range 5 MHz to 3000 MHz;
• identifies performance requirements for certain parameters;
• lays down data publication requirements for certain parameters;
• stipulates methods of measurements;
• introduces minimum requirements defining quality grades (Q-grades).
As far as possible this standard only deals with the interfaces between headend equipment and
only explains the function of the equipment if this is necessary to support the description of the
interfaces.
Coder, transcoder, encrypter, decrypter etc. are not described in this standard. If such
equipment are used in headends, the relevant parameters for RF, video, audio and data
interfaces have to be met.
According to the definitions in clause 3 the headends are divided into the following three quality
grades:
Grade 1: local headend / remote headend
Grade 2: hub headend
Grade 3: MATV headend / individual reception headend

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

SIST EN 50083-5:2003
- 5 - EN 50083-5: 2001
Practical experience has shown these types meet most of the technical requirements necessary
for supplying a minimum signal quality to the subscribers. This classification shall not be
considered as a requirement but as the information for users and manufacturers on the
minimum quality criteria of the material required to install networks of different sizes. The system
operator has to select appropriate material to meet the minimum signal quality at the
subscriber's outlet and to optimise cost performance, taking into account the size of the network
and local circumstances.

4 Methods of measurement
4.1 Single-channel intermodulation
Specifications for channel amplifier / frequency converter
Frequencies and levels of test carriers as shown in Figure 3 simulate a colour television
transmission where f , f and f respectively correspond to vision carrier, colour subcarrier and
a b c
sound carrier. The most significant intermodulation products are:
P3 = f + f - f
f a b c
P3 = f + f - f
g a c b
The carrier levels for different television systems are given in Table 1.

NOTE  Levels of measuring signals are to be adjusted as in Table 1.
4.2 Three-carrier intermodulation measurement
Specifications for the measurement of three-carrier intermodulation on sub-band, full-band and
multi-band amplifiers or multi channel frequency converters
In television band amplifiers the simultaneous transmission of multi channel programming may
cause mutual interference between vision carriers through crossmodulation. The carrier-to-
crossmodulation distortion ratio is defined as the difference between the level of a given test
carrier and the level of the crossmodulation products produced by interfering signals and falling
near that test carrier.
This method of measurement is used to simulate transfer of modulation between two television
signals. The test carrier having the frequency f is an unmodulated wanted signal, while the
a
carriers having the frequencies f and f represent the sidebands of a one-hundred percent
b c
amplitude modulated (AM) interfering signal (Table 2 and Figure 4).

NOTE  If the equal carrier method of measurement as described in subclauses 4.2.2 and 5.11.2 of EN 50083-3 is
used, the output level giving the appropriate signal-to-distortion ratio must be increased by 6 dB.
4.3 Two carrier intermodulation measurements for second and third order
products
The two carrier method is applicable to the measurement of the ratio of the carrier to a single
intermodulation product at a specified point within a cable network. The method can also be
used to determine the intermodulation performance of individual items of equipment.
Second-order products are encountered only in wideband equipment and systems covering
more than one octave, and can be measured using two signals.
Third-order products are encountered in both wideband and narrow-band equipment and
systems and, depending on the type, can also be measured using two signals.
