Option BN 3035/90.32 Multiplex and demultiplex functions When equipped with Option BN 3035/90.32, “M13 MUX/DEMUX”, the ANT-20 can generate and analyze DS3 signals containing 28 DS1 signals. These DS3 signals can also be mapped into OC-N signals or STM-N and STS-N signals. This allows tests on add/drop multiplexers equipped with built-in M13 multiplexs or on M13 signals.
The linking of the M13 multiplex function to the SONET mapping functions in the ANT-20 makes the instrument ideal for testing complex switching functions.Tests can be performed between two SONET ports, two DSn ports or between a SONET and a DSn port.
The DS2 level cannot be manipulated. CRC checksum (DS1 ESF) The ANT-20 calculates the CRC-6 checksum for the measured channel and the filler channels as per standard T1.107 and inserts the result bits at the appropriate position in the Extended Super Frame.
M13 MUX/DEMUX ANT-20/ANT-20E Justification as per T1.107 or T1.107a The bit rates in the upper and subordinate systems are in a fixed relationship to each other. Justification is at a nominal rate (offset of upper and subordinate systems is identical).
ANT-20/ANT-20E M13 MUX/DEMUX Test signals for bit error rate measurements 1.6.1 Internal test signals Bit patterns as in the mainframe instrument: • Transmitted in all timeslots (framed pattern) • Transmitted in a selected timeslot 1.6.2 External signal (with option 3035/90.20 only) An external signal with bit rate 1544 kbit/s (coaxial or balanced) can be inserted into the selected timeslot instead of the bit pattern (see Sec.

ANT-20/ANT-20E M13 MUX/DEMUX Evaluation of test signals for bit error measurements 2.5.1 Internal evaluation Evaluation: • in all timeslots (framed pattern) • in the selected timeslot 2.5.2 External signal (with option BN 3035/90.20 only) Output of a signal with bit rate 1544 kbit/s (coaxial or balanced) for external evaluation is alternative to internal evaluation as described before (see Sec.
Through Mode The received signal is looped through the ANT-20 and re-transmitted by the generator. The ANT-20 operates in Through Mode as a signal monitor without affecting the signal content. Fig. S-2 Through Mode: Generator and receiver coupled The looped-through signal can also be jittered using the Jitter Generator options (Jitter Generator up to 155 or 622 Mbit/s, BN 3035/90.60 to 61).

Through Mode In Through Mode, clock generation is always derived from the receive signal clock.
