It is one of a family of documents covering various aspects ofsynchronization networks:Part 1-1:"Definitions and terminology for synchronization networks";Part 2-1:"Synchronization network architecture";Part 3-1:"The control of jitter and wander within synchronization networks";Part 4-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment";Part 4-2:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment ImplementationConformance (ICS) Statement";Part 5-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for operation in Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) equipment";Part 6-1:"Timing characteristics of primary reference clocks";Part 6-2:"Timing characteristics of primary reference clocks Implementation Conformance (ICS)Statement";Part 7-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to equipment in localnode applications".Parts 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 and 5-1 have previously been published as ETS 300 462 Parts 1, 2, 3 and 5, respectively.Additionally, parts 4-1 and 6-1 completed the Voting phase of the Two Step Approval procedure as ETS 300 462 Parts4 and 6, respectively.It was decided to prepare ICS proformas for several of the parts and this necessitated a re-numbering of the individualdocument parts. It was also decided to create a new part 7-1.This in turn led to a need to re-publish new versions of all six parts of the original ETS. At the same time, theopportunity was taken to convert the document type to EN.This has involved no technical change to any of the documents. However part 5-1 has been modified, due to editorialerrors which appeared in ETS 300 462-5.SIST EN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2:2003

ETSIEN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2 (1998-05)71ScopeThis European Standard (Telecommunications series) outlines requirements for timing devices used in synchronisingnetwork equipment that operates according to the principles governed by the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH).These requirements apply under the normal environmental conditions specified for SDH equipment. Typical SDHequipment contains a slave clock linked to a master, or a primary reference clock. The logical function of the SEC isdescribed in figure 2 of EN 300 462-2-1 [3]. In general the SDH Equipment Clock (SEC) will have multiple referenceinputs. In the event that all links between the master and the slave clock fail, the equipment should be capable ofmaintaining operation (holdover) within the prescribed performance limits contained within the present document.Slave clocks used in SDH equipment shall meet specific requirements in order to comply with the jitter specificationsgiven in ETS 300 417-1-1 [9] for plesiochronous tributaries.The case where clock performance is required in SDH equipment is outside the scope of the present document, seeEN 300 462-4-1 [10].2ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the presentdocument.· References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) ornon-specific.· For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.· For a non-specific reference, subsequent revisions do apply.· A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]ETS 300 019: "Equipment Engineering (EE); Environmental conditions and environmental testsfor telecommunications equipment".[2]EN 300 462-1-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 1-1: Definitions and terminology for synchronization networks".[3]EN 300 462-2-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 2-1: Synchronisation network architecture".[4]ITU-T Recommendation G.823: "The control of jitter and wander within digital networks whichare based on the 2 048 kbit/s hierarchy".[5]EN 300 462-6-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 6-1: Timing characteristics of primary reference clocks".[6]ITU-T Recommendation G.703: "Physical/electrical characteristics of hierarchical digitalinterfaces".[7]ITU-T Recommendation G.825: "The control of jitter and wander within digital networks whichare based on the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)".[8]ITU-T Recommendation Q.551: "Transmission characteristics of digital exchanges".[9]ETS 300 417-1-1 (1996): "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic functional requirementsfor Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) equipment; Part 1-1: Generic processes andperformance".[10]EN 300 462-4-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 4-1: Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply toSynchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment".SIST EN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2:2003

The Pull-outrange is for further study. A value of ± 4,6 ppm has been proposed.6Noise generationThe noise generation of a SEC represents the amount of phase noise produced at the output when there is an idealinput reference signal or the clock is in holdover state. A suitable reference, for practical testing purposes, implies aperformance level at least 10 times more stable than the output requirements. The ability of the clock to limit this noiseis described by its frequency stability. The measures Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE) and Time Deviation(TDEV) are useful for characterization of noise generation performance.MTIE and TDEV are measured through an equivalent 10 Hz, first order, low-pass measurement filter, at a maximumsampling time t0 of 1/30 second. The minimum measurement period for TDEV is twelve times the integration period(T = 12t).SIST EN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2:2003

Consequently the non-locked wander effects are included insubclause 9.1.6.3JitterWhile most specifications in the present document are independent of the output interface at which they are measured,this is not the case for jitter production; jitter generation specifications shall utilize existing specifications that arecurrently specified differently for different interface rates. These requirements are stated separately for the interfacesidentified in clause 10. To be consistent with other jitter requirements the specifications are in Unit Interval peak topeak (UIpp), where the Unit Interval (UI) corresponds to the reciprocal of the bit rate of the interface.Due to the stochastic nature of jitter, the peak-to-peak values given in this clause eventually are exceeded. Therequirements shall therefore be fulfilled with a probability of 99 %.6.3.1Output jitter at a 2 048 kHz and 2 048 kbit/s interfaceIn the absence of input jitter, the intrinsic jitter at a 2 048 kHz or 2 048 kbit/s output interface as measured over a 60seconds interval shall not exceed 0,05 UIpp when measured through a band-pass filter with corner frequencies at 20Hz and 100 kHz each with a first order 20 dB/decade roll-off characteristic.SIST EN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2:2003

ETSIEN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2 (1998-05)116.3.2Output jitter at a Synchronous Transport Module N (STM-N)interfaceIn the absence of input jitter at the synchronization interface, the intrinsic jitter at optical STM-N output interfaces asmeasured over a 60 seconds interval shall not exceed the limits given in table 4. The allowed jitter on an STM-1electrical interface is for further study.Table 4: Output jitter requirements for STM-N optical interfacesInterfaceMeasuring filter(Hz)Peak-to-peak amplitude(UI)STM-1500 to 1,3 M0,5065 k to 1,3 M0,10STM-41 k to 5 M0,50250 k to 5 M0,10STM-165 k to 20 M0,501 M to 20 M0,10for STM-1:1 UI = 6,43 ns;for STM-4:1 UI = 1,61 ns;for STM-16:1 UI = 0,40 ns.7Noise toleranceNoise tolerance of an SEC indicates the minimum phase noise level at the input of the clock that should beaccommodated whilst:-maintaining the clock within prescribed performance limits. The exact performance limits are for further study;-not causing any alarms;-not causing the clock to switch reference;-not causing the clock to go into holdover.In general, the noise tolerance is the same as the network limit for the synchronization interface in order to maintainacceptable performance. The jitter and wander tolerances given in subclauses 7.1 and 7.2 represent the worst levels thata synchronization carrying interface should exhibit. The requirements in subclause 7.1 have been derived by combiningthe most stringent requirements from each specific data interface and presenting them as a single specification whichdefines the performance of the SDH Equipment Clock (SEC). It is not expected that every synchronization interfaceshould tolerate the full requirements in figure 3. Consequently when testing a specific interface (e.g. an STM-N), theinterface is also bound by the jitter and wander tolerance limits defined in ITU-T Recommendations G.823 [4] andG.825 [7].7.1Jitter toleranceThe lower limits of maximum tolerable input jitter for signals carrying synchronization to SECs is given in figure 3 andtable 5.Table 5: Lower limit of maximum tolerable input jitterRequirementFrequency interval250 ns1 < f £ 19 Hz4 900 f -1 ns19 < f £ 49 Hz100 ns49 < f £ 105 HzSIST EN 300 462-5-1 V1.1.2:2003
