Supports New ITU-T O.172 Conformance Test Set
The CTS850 is a versatile analyzer for Broadband Network Testing. It has a powerful, yet uncomplicated, menu structure which allows both the novice and expert user to accurately configure measurements on SDH and PDH networks very quickly. All measurement connections are conveniently located directly on the front panel close to the signal status LEDs and easy-to-read display.
A field-interchangeable optical module and a floppy disk drive for retrieval of stored setups and results complete the front-panel layout to create a "field-friendly" instrument.
SDH/PDH/Jitter and Wander Testing
The CTS850 creatively addresses growing concerns surrounding hybrid SDH/PDH networks in the area of timing and synchronization. Its industry-leading, DSP-based, Jitter and Wander measurement capability provides a high 300 UI jitter measurement range, handles all line rates from 2 MBps to 622 MBps through existing front-panel connectors and introduces exclusive new measurements for digital video services.
The CTS850 unlocks the power of the SDH frame structure by combining bit error testing with overhead analysis and payload mapping and demapping. It provides read/write access to overhead bytes, DCC add/drop, and complete G.783 pointer test sequences.
The CTS850 is optimized for installation and maintenance of both current and future SDH networks. Additional functionality, reflecting evolving standards such as new O.172, can be downloaded through the built-in disk drive.
One of the CTS850's many powerful functions is error analysis and display. In addition to simple error counts and rate determination, the CTS850 makes measurements according to G.821, G.826, G.827, and new M.2101.1 performance analysis and M.2100 error analysis so that network quality of service can be fully verified in or out of service.
Histograms boost the power of error analysis by enabling an easy correlation of time-critical events. Thus, time-consuming searches through long strips of error printouts are eliminated, freeing you to spend time fixing problems, not finding the cause.
PDH Testing
Many networks have evolved from PDH to include SDH rings and long-distance, high-capacity trunks. The PDH network segments are commonly retained for access, service delivery, and economic reasons. The CTS850 Opt. 38, PDH Tributary card provides features for testing and accessing PDH subrates from 140 MBps, 34 MBps, 8 MBps, 2 MBps, down to N/M × 64 Kbps. Additional PDH test features also include simultaneous multilayer G.826, M.2100 results, Round Trip Delay, Voice Channel Monitor, and Burst FAS Errors.
This option also empowers the CTS850 with mapping and demapping of 2, 34, and 140 MBps payloads in virtual containers and testing of TU-12, TU-3 and AU-4 overheads, making it ideal for testing hybrid networks.
Jitter and Wander Testing
To support current and emerging ITU-T and ETSI standards, CTS850 Opt. 14 for Jitter and Wander provides the most comprehensive, easy-to-use measurements for both SDH and PDH equipment and networks.
The CTS850 is the first test set to fully conform to the requirements of the new ITU-T O.172 (Jitter/wander test for SDH networks). So for the first time, measurements of pointer jitter can be made reliably and accurately. Widely variable results are a thing of the past.
With its wide-ranging and comprehensive generation, analysis, pointer movement, automated jitter output, transfer, and tolerance testing, the CTS850 is the complete solution for your current and future test requirements.
Also included in Opt. 14 is Real-Time Wander Analyst application software for MTIE and TDEV parameter analysis. Now you can fully test and qualify the timing and synchronization of your new SDH/PDH equipment and networks. Jitter history histograms can be correlated with simultaneously-acquired Wander TIE data so troublesome conditions can be quickly diagnosed.
Video Service Performance and 45 MBps Mapping and Demapping
Digital video services demand a more stringent level of SDH/PDH timing and synchronization performance than many other services. The CTS850 Opt. 14 provides exclusive new measurements at the network interface to assess video service performance. Also, CTS850 Opt. 55, provides the ability to test 45 MBps Mapping and Demapping, including Jitter and Wander testing, to bring the CTS850's advanced benefits to Video Service Measurement.

Conformance to ITU-T new O.172 and O.171
ITU-T New O.172
New O.172 provides requirements for SDH Jitter and Wander test sets and also new requirements for PDH tests, where necessary.
The prime purpose of new O.172 is to improve accuracy and consistency of Jitter and Wander measurements between different units.
A special focus is the accurate and reliable measurement of pointer jitter. Only test sets conforming with O.172 can provide the minimum acceptable performance level.
New O.172, together with O.171, recommendations establish test-set requirements for:
- Jitter and Wander generation
- Jitter measurement ranges and accuracy
- Jitter measurement filters and frequency response
- Wander measurement filters and Wander measurement accuracy
ITU-T O.171 Only
Legacy O.171 provides requirements for PDH Jitter test sets.
O.171 is not sufficient for SDH tributary test. This is because pointer jitter testing has new requirements;
The main limitations are:
- The measurement range is only 10 UI so overload can easily occur.
- The measurement filter accuracy is not specified so results can vary widely.
- As a consequence, the measurement error is too high.
O.171 test sets are unable to guarantee reliable and accurate pointer jitter measurements. Therefore it is important for users to ensure that test sets conform to new O.172.
The Tektronix CTS850 is the first Jitter and Wander test set to meet the new requirements of ITU-T O.172 (together with O.171).
CTS850 performance easily exceeds O.172 with modern DSP-based Jitter and Wander measurement technology (old analog techniques typically provide less performance).
CTS850 Jitter and Wander option conforms to O.172 and O.171, specific examples include:
- Wander generation of 100,000 UI exceeds the specified minimum requirement of 14,400 UI (STM-4).
- Jitter measurement range of 6 and 300 UI exceeds the specified minimum requirement of 200 UI (STM-4).
- Jitter measurement filter accuracy of better than 10% exceeds the specified minimum requirements of 10% (O.172).
- Jitter measurement filter performance to less than 0.1 Hz exceeds the tolerance requirements of O.172.

Jitter Measurement Accuracy - Jitter measurement accuracy is a function of the modulation frequency and the highpass filter chosen. Measured jitter frequency response is expressed by the equation below, where fLC is the lower cutoff frequency and fUC is the high-frequency cutoff (defined in table following). Passband is from fLC to fUC. Uncertainty = ±5% A ±fixed error, where A is the actual jitter at the input.
![A001_8249-N.gif A001_8249-N](/-/media/sites/default/files/media/image/a001_8249-n.gif)
Input Phase Tolerance - Input phase tolerance exceeds 300 UIpk-pk, to accommodate worst-case tributary pointer jitter, exceeding requirements of new O.172.
Jitter Measurement Function Frequency Response -
Measurement function meets the requirements of new ITU-T O.172 (supports ITU-T G.783, G.823, G. 824, G.825, G.958, etc.).
Lower cutoff (highpass) is first order (-20 dB/decade). For E1, E3, and E4, this response is 20 dB/decade down to less than 0.1 Hz in wideband mode. Upper cutoff (lowpass) is third order (-60 dB/decade).
Cutoff frequencies are ±10% except E1 (2 MBps) is +100%/-10%.

Real-Time Wander Analyst Software for CTS850
Real-Time Wander Analyst software works in conjunction with the Tektronix CTS850 or SJ300E test sets. The software provides full wander TIE, MTIE, and TDEV analysis according to the most recent ITU-T, ETSI, ANSI, and Bellcore standards. The Windows-compatible PC software uploads TIE wander measurement data from the test set at a sampling rate of 50 Hz (in accordance with ITU-T and ETSI requirements), stores the data at a rate of 50, 1 or 0.1 Hz (selectable) and simultaneously calculates MTIE and TDEV using efficient algorithms.
In addition to the ITU-T and European ETSI specifications, real-time Wander Analyst also includes a full suite of North American SONET and ANSI specification limits. The software provides a hi/lo envelope TIE plot to show transients, full zoom control using cursors, and calculates frequency offset and drift rate in accordance with ANSI-approved methodology. Results can be easily transferred to other Windows applications for report documentation.
