Options BN 3035/90.30 to BN 3035/90.32 Multiplex and demultiplex functions The ANT-20 can generate and analyze PDH frames with complete channel structures at rates of 2, 8, 34 and 140 Mbit/s when fitted with the PDH Multiplexer/Demultiplexer Chain option. This...
Complex, interleaved signal paths occur, particularly in modern SDH network nodes (cross- connects). The linking of the PDH multiplex chain to the SDH mapping functions in the ANT-20 makes the instrument ideal for testing complex switching functions. Since the ANT-20 can generate and evaluate structured signals right down to the 64 kbit/s level, it can test switching functions on all hierarchy levels from 140 Mbit/s to 64 kbit/s.
1.2.2 CRC checksum (PCM 30 CRC / PCM 31 CRC) The ANT-20 calculates the CRC checksum for the measured channel and the filler channels as per ITU-T recommendation G.704 and inserts the result bits at the appropriate position in the pulse frame.
ANT-20/ANT-20E PDH MUX/DEMUX Error insertion (anomalies) In addition to the error types described in the “Specifications” for the mainframe instrument, the following anomalies can be inserted: Error type, anomaly Single Rate CRC-4 2E-3 to 1E-8 E bit 2E-3 to 1E-8...
PDH MUX/DEMUX ANT-20/ANT-20E Receiver section Frame systems Frames which can be evaluated by the 64k/140M PDH MUX/DEMUX chain and 64k/140M PDH DEMUX chain (options BN 3035/90.30 and 3035/90.31) Bit rate kbit/s Frame conforming to Notes 2048 ITU-T G.704 PCM 30, PCM 31 systems 2048 ITU-T G.704/G.706...
ANT-20/ANT-20E PDH MUX/DEMUX Offset measurements All offsets in the hierarchy stages in the measurement path are measured simultaneously and displayed. Display in ppm Error measurements (anomalies) The error measurements are described in the “Specifications” for the mainframe instrument. The frame alignment signals in all hierarchy stages of the selected path are checked simultaneously.
Drop&Insert / Through Mode / Block&Replace Option: BN 3035/90.20 Functions This Option provides the following functions for all PDH multiplex options fitted to the ANT-20. Drop&Insert Generator and receiver operate independently as mapper and demapper. The signal from a selected channel is dropped from the receive signal and output to a connector. An external signal is inserted into the transmit signal.
ANT-20/ANT-20E PDH MUX/DEMUX 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). This function is available for all bit rates fitted to the instrument. Fig. S-3 Through Mode: Adding jitter to the looped-through signal Block&Replace...
