Displays measurements graphs in real time (also during the measurement).
The OSA 5565 STS accepts a variety of input signals for reference and/or calibration.
These are:
- Frequency input: range from 0.064 MHz to 16.384 MHz in steps of 8kHz
- 10 MHz (dedicated reference)
- E1 / 2.048 Mb/s
- T1 / 1.544 Mb/s
The reference signal from the Rubidium clock can be retrieved as an output signal. Available reference formats are:
- 2.048 MHz
- 10.000 MHz
Applications
Figure 1 below shows a typical application for the OSA 5565 STS, where the synchronization output from a public switch equipment is tested against a known synchronization reference. The calculations are carried out by the WinSTS software and the results are displayed as graphs which can be compared with relevant international standards. For more specific analysis of the result, all data from the OSA 5565 STS can be examined in table form.
Introduction
Synchronization forms a vital part of any digital telecom network. A well maintained synchronization backbone minimises network errors, thus increases network efficiency. The result is a higher quality of service and a greater use of capacity.
Synchronization issues are quite often addressed reactively only when problems have occurred. The introduction of more stringent industry standards has led to the need for greater control of synchronization. For network operators this involves proactively monitoring the performance of synchronization signals to identify potential problems.
For equipment manufacturers, this means testing their equipment to ensure conformance with design objectives and with standards.
Traditionally, assessing the quality of synchronization has been a tedious process because of the unavailability of appropriate test equipment.
The OSA 5565 STS Synchronization Test Set is a fully portable equipment for accurate high-resolution measurement of telecom synchronization signals. It is in full compliance with the ITU-T O.172 recommendation for wander measuring equipment.
The OSA 5565 STS is compact, lightweight and it is operational 15min. after power up.
Moreover, thanks to the internal high stability Rubidium oscillator, it can perform most measurements without the need of an external reference.
For higher precision measurements, the OSA 5565 STS can also be connected to an external reference source such as a Cesium clock or a high stability GPS receiver.
