1 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network for CCTA Technical Training Sessions August 14, San Juan, PR Presenter: Mario Sebastiani 1
2 Seminar Summary Topics review for all-digital HFC network: Is it necessary to patrol for leakage? Is the leakage spec the same as for analog? Can QAM signals cause harmful interference? Can off-air digital ATSC impair QAM signals? Is CW/Video carrier necessary for patrolling? What frequency should I troubleshoot egress? Are vendors providing digital leakage gear? 2
3 Technical Training Outline Examine reasons for a patrolling leakage program Demystify leakage characteristics & requirements Analyze leakage symptoms & measurements Concerns of leakage in an all-digital network? Characterising Signal Leakage in an All-Digital Cable Network (Courtesy of SCTE live learning, 2010) Demonstration of QAM carrier impaired by analog or digital signals with MER/BER measurements 3
4 What is Leakage/Egress? Definition: - Undesired emission of RF energy generated by the coaxial plant - Modulated RF signals radiating or leaking out of the cable network 4
5 Leakage & Ingress Leakage - RF energy leaking out of the coaxial environment Ingress - RF or electrical energy that enters the coaxial environment 5
6 Why do we monitor for leakage? 6

15 Spectrum Chart (cont d) Aeronautical Service Bands 324MHz 336MHz Off-Air Aircraft Radio & Navigation Cable QAM Freq. CH MHz CH MHz 15
16 FCC/IC Regulations & Procedures for Leakage Measurement < 54 MHz & > 216 MHz = 30m > 54 MHz & < 216 MHz = 3m Use a calibrated half-wave dipole antenna Antenna must be elevated 3 meters off the ground and positioned 3 meters from the leakage source 16
17 Patrolling for Leakage 20µVm 3 meters 30 meters 2 µvm 17
18 µv/m Standard unit of measure for Leakage 50 Ohm off air measurement Voltage developed in 1 meter of infinitely thin section of wire submerged in a leakage field, produces 1µV of energy 18
19 Polarization Angle Dipole Monopole 19
20 Leakage Antennas-Dipole 20
21 Cumulative Leakage Index (CLI) CLI is the net effect of the combination of all the leaks in the system added together These cumulative leaks form an invisible cloud of unwanted RF energy over the cable system 21
22 Required Actions All leaks 20 µv/m must be logged and fixed Only leaks above 50 µv/m are used in CLI calculation All measurements taken outside MHz must be converted as if they were taken within the band 22
23 Reason #3 to Monitor for Leakage Improves System Performance Reduces Repeat Service Calls Locate Physical Problems 23
24 Common Causes 70% of all leakage is caused by problems between the tap and entry to the house Aging and environmental stress Physical trauma to cables or connectors Loose drop connectors Inferior quality coaxial cable, passives, or connectors Loose hard line connectors 24
25 Other Causes of Leakage Improperly installed connectors Cracks in the distribution and feeder cable Animal chews Poorly-shielded drop cable Bad connectors at the tap Bad/loose port terminators Corroded connectors 25
26 Other Causes (Cont d) Customer installed equipment Damaged amplifier housing or loose lids Loose tap plates Broken tap ports Poor installation of splices and connectors Poorly-shielded customer premise gear 26

31 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Ron Hranac and Ray Thomas (Comcast) have conducted field tests on the subject a couple of years ago SCTE live Learning presentation on the subject erence/recordingdefault.aspx?c_psrid=e D50D
32 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Field tests were conducted in the Denver, Co area using an analog CW carrier and a 256 QAM carrier CW test frequency was Ch. MHz Digital test with 256QAM 147Mhz Digital test with power -6dBc from CW (video) Testing leakage carrier in between 2 QAMs Minimum spectrum protection for CW vs QAM 32
33 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Review the characteristics of the analog and digital carriers Review type of modulation Where the RF energy is located Historical test instruments to measure leakage Troubleshooting gear MER/BER performance behavior being deteriorated by signal ingress 33

38 Analog Carrier with Modulation 38
39 Typical Digital QAM Carriers 39
40 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Conclusion from Hranac/Comcast test results: Leaks from digital QAM carriers can cause harmful interference to terrestrial users just like analog carriers Terrestrial RF energy can impair on QAM signals depending on the level of the ingress Patrol leakage program should apply to alldigital systems The compliance spec for all-digital networks is similar as for analog cable systems 40
41 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Summary and conclusion of SCTE tests (cont d): A CW carrier is still the most cost/efficient method for testing and troubleshooting leakage The minimum frequency offset allocation to a QAM is 1 MHz The frequency range for leakage detectors can be from 108MHz ~147MHz (Aeronautical band) Allocating CW carrier between 2 QAM carriers will impair on both QAM carriers Video carrier from analog modulator may be used 41
42 Characterizing Signal Leakage from an All-Digital Cable Network Summary and conclusion of SCTE tests (cont d): Some manufacturers are working on or already supplying leakage detection tools for digital QAM carriers Cost efficiency of digital leakage instrumentation will accelerate its deployment in all-digital cable systems 42
43 Leakage Downstream Ingress Facts Being leakage compliant with rules and regulations increases the figure of merit of the HFC network Higher MER levels throughout the RF plant - greater signals reliability The average MER objective at the subscriber tap of 33dB ~ 35dB 43
44 MER TARGET - THE CLIFF EFFECT P Operating margin Zone Risk Zone RS-FEC Crash Zone Upstream 16 QAM >22dB 22dB - 20dB <17dB Objective UP/Downstream 64 QAM >28dB 28dB - 26dB <23dB P- BER CER Downstream 256 QAM >33dB 33dB - 31dB <28dB 1 x x

46 QAM EVS Troubleshooting in-channel ingress is easy with QAM EVS mode Typical ingress areas Loose connector Broken shields Tap plate loose Home wiring CSO/CTB from house amp Sweep inter-mod 46
47 Digital signals work well until very close to the point of failure Measurement of digital carriers is critical in determining the system margin BER Signal level MER Pre/Post BER CER (Codedword Error Rate) The BER helps to find problems related to point of failure. Gray lines designate marginal signal quality Black lines is a sign of macro-blocks and picture pixelling 47
48 BER/CER BER Pre: before FEC repair Post: after FEC repair ERRORS Corr = corrected codewords uncor = uncorrectable codewords err sec = errored seconds sev sec = severely errored seconds Codeword Error Rate: Objective = 9x10 ⁷ 48
