17 To BER or not to BER: BER says everything is working nicely or that it is NOT! Hours of testing complete yet BER fails! How do you determine WHY your Bit Error Rate is failing? DOCSIS Frame Generator M8190A Device Under Test CMTS (single ended) Optical Transport Amplifier BER Golden Receiver Cable Modem What causes bit errors? Clipping? Noise? Compression? Interference? How and where do they show up other than in an accumulated over-time BER test? Rapid fire in-channel and adjacent-channel energy spikes? Increased unexpected signal amplitude? Spurious emissions? Reduced Adjacent Channel Power performance? Technologies 2015 Page 17
18 How do DOWNSTREAM events manifest themselves? These events show up at various times and places and are distinguishable as perturbations in the frequency domain! By building a very flexible mask around the spectrum, these perturbations can be trapped, recorded, analyzed and subsequently questions answered! Technologies 2015 Page 18

34 Stability of MER Measurements at Low Grant % 1 Cable Modems 2 CMTS OFDMA 96MHz Channel Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) Network 4 3 OFDMA: Low-grant signals are those where less than about half of the subcarriers are active, and the remainder are transmitted as nulls. 5 96MHz Channel Spectrum Technologies 2015 Page 34
35 Stability of MER Measurements at Low Grant % Measurement Challenge: Vector Signal Analysis synchronization algorithms are optimized for signals with a relatively high grant percentage. 96 MHz Acquisition BW 5% grant 96 subcarriers DC Sample Freq MHz Center Freq. 53 MHz 2048 point FFT Technologies 2015 Page 35
36 Stability of MER Measurements at Low Grant % Measurement Approach: Reconfigure existing measurements to zoom in on the active subcarriers only. Thus, rather than analyzing a small percentage of a large FFT block, the demodulator processes a smaller FFT block that is almost fully-populated! Smaller acquisition BW improves SNR to the sync algorithms, stabilizes MER readings. Mathematically, the two approaches are identical there is no effect on the calculation of MER, carrier frequency error, symbol clock error, or other measurement results. 96 MHz Acquisition BW ~5 MHz Acquisition BW 5% grant 96 subcarriers Mathematically equivalent to: Automatic Bandwidth Translation Compliments of Optimizer Macro! 100% grant 96 subcarriers DC Sample Freq MHz Center Freq. 53 MHz 2048 point FFT Sample Freq. 6.4 MHz Center Freq. 8 MHz 128 point FFT Technologies 2015 Page 36
37 Stability of MER Measurements at Low Grant % Optimize VSA Macro Technologies 2015 Page 37

39 Stability of MER Measurements at Low Grant % 1 Cable Modems 2 CMTS OFDMA 96MHz Channel Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) Network Small Grant 1 Small Grant 2 96MHz Channel Spectrum Setting the grants side by side creates a challenging measurement scenario. Technologies 2015 Page 39
40 Reconfiguring OFDM for Synchronized ACP The DOCSIS 3.1 PHY specification requires that Adjacent Channel Power be measured in the spectrum regions directly adjacent to the transmitted signal, starting at one subcarrier spacing (25 or 50 khz) from the outermost active subcarriers. However, even well-windowed OFDM signals will have significant sinx/x modulation sidebands that extend into this region which are visible when viewed on a traditional swept spectrum analyzer. Technologies 2015 Page 40
41 Reconfiguring OFDM for Synchronized ACP The ACP specification is not meant to include these sidebands, but rather to measure only the unwanted noise and distortion that may accompany them. In order to separate these components, the spec requires that ACP measurements at offsets of 2 MHz or less be performed synchronously - that is, sampled at the same frequency and in phase with the underlying OFDM modulation clock. This suppresses all orthogonal (modulation-related) energy, leaving only the non-linear distortion to be summed. Technologies 2015 Page 41
42 Reconfiguring OFDM for Synchronized ACP Optimizer Adds extra null subcarriers to the OFDM demod configuration. VSA Configure analyzer to display the null subcarriers. Read ACP from VSA spectrum display using band power markers. Technologies 2015 Page 42
