Pre release version
Fibre optic communication subsystem test procedures - Part 2-8: Digital systems - Determination of low BER using Q-factor measurements
Abstract
This Final Draft International Standard is an up to 6 weeks' pre-release of the official publication. It is available for sale during its voting period: 2020-12-25 to 2021-02-05. By purchasing this FDIS now, you will automatically receive, in addition, the final publication.
IEC 61280-2-8:2021 specifies two main methods for the determination of low BER values by making accelerated measurements. These include the variable decision threshold method (Clause 5) and the variable optical threshold method (Clause 6). In addition, a third method, the sinusoidal interference method, is described in Annex B. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
