HP 37717C PDH / DSn Features

Introduction to PDH / DSn

The Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH / DSn) is still the dominant technology

in most existing telecommunications networks throughout the world, although it is

being replaced in many networks by Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or

SONET networks. PDH / DSn networks were developed at a time when point-to-

point transmission was the predominant network requirement. To support this

requirement, the standard approach to network management and maintenance was to

use manual distribution frames for access to individual signals. This is now

considered out of date and consequently SDH / SONET is now the preferred

network topology for new installations.

However PDH / DSn networks will exist for a long time to come even in networks

where SDH /SONET is the preferred technology. PDH is the ETSI international

standard, based on 2 Mb/s, deﬁned by the ITU-T, and covers the hierarchal

transmission rates of 2 Mb/s, 8 Mb/s, 34 Mb/s and 140 Mb/s. DSn is the ANSI

standard covering transmission rates of 1.544 Mb/s (DS1) and 44.736 Mb/s (DS3).

PDH is asynchronous at 8 Mb/s, 34 Mb/s and 140 Mb/s. In order to access a signal,

for rerouting or test purposes, the whole line signal structure must be demultiplexed

step by step down to the 2 Mb/s level, because of the asynchronous nature of the

multiplexing.

At each multiplexing step, the bit rate of the individual tributary signals is controlled

within speciﬁed limits and is not synchronized with the multiplex equipment.

Because the bit rates of the individual tributaries are controlled within speciﬁc limits

this type of multiplexing is referred to as Plesiochronous i.e. nearly synchronous.

The individual tributaries are synchronized with the equipment at each multiplex

step by the process of positive bit stufﬁng justiﬁcation.

In new SDH / SONET networks, PDH / DSn signals are mapped into virtual

containers / tributaries before being transported as part of the SDH / SONET

payload. The SDH / SONET payload must then be demapped into a PDH / DSn

tributary signal.

Therefore all PDH / DSn, SDH / SONET and mixed PDH/SDH DSn / SONET

networks require test sets which have PDH / DSn interfaces and PDH / DSn test

capability.

UKN (USE)

Structured PDH Generation and Measurement. Options UKJ (USA) and

UKN (USE)

Options UKJ (USA) and UKN (USE), provide generation and

measurement of Structured or Unstructured PDH at interface

rates of 2.048 Mb/s (E1), 8.448 Mb/s (E2), 34.368 Mb/s (E3)

and 139.264 Mb/s (E4).

Structured test signal rates of 64 kb/s, 2.048 Mb/s, 8.448 Mb/s

and 34.368 Mb/s are provided.

Frequency Offset can be added at the interface rates.

Line rate frequency can be measured.

Provides 75 Ωunbalanced or 120 Ωbalanced input and output

interfaces.

Allows selection of PRBS, WORD or USER patterns

Allows selection of Line Code AMI, HDB3 or CMI

Interface and test signal rates can be Framed or Unframed

MUX connector allows a 2 Mb/s signal from external equipment

to be inserted into the HP 37717C test signal.

DEMUX connector allows a 2 Mb/s signal from the HP 37717C

to be Dropped to external equipment.

Option UKN (USE) also provides generation and measurement

of PDH signals with ATM payloads. Option UKN (USE)

therefore provides all of the PDH facilities described here with

the additional facilities described on page 6.

Information on the ATM capabilities of the UKN (USE) module

is given in “The ATM Operating Manual”
