BS EN 60728-13-1:2017

What is BS EN 60728-13-1 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services about?  

BS EN 60728-13-1 discusses cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services. Cable networks are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners, etc. BS EN 60728-13-1 provides a purpose that is precise description of an FTTH (fibre to the home) system for expanding broadband broadcast signal transmission from CATV services only, towards CATV plus broadcast satellite (BS) plus communication satellite (CS) services, additionally to other various signals such as data services. BS EN 60728-13-1 describes the pass-through method of satellite broadcast signals over the FTTH system which uses AM-FDM (SCM) transmission. BS EN 60728-13-1 applies to FTTH systems of broadband broadcast signal transmission which conveys satellite broadcast signals using one or multiple optical wavelengths. 

Who is BS EN 60728-13-1 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services for? 

BS EN 60728-13-1 on cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services is useful for: 

• Telecommunication equipment manufacturers 
• Telecommunication component manufacturers 
• Design engineers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 60728-13-1 - Cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services?  

In some home and industrial applications, power lines are used as network cabling. BS EN 60728-13-1 deals with cable networks including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing, and distribution of television and sound signals and for processing, interfacing, and transmitting all kinds of data signals for interactive services using all applicable transmission media. These signals are typically transmitted in networks by frequency-multiplexing techniques. 

BS EN 60728-13-1 contains descriptions of the measurement methods and specifications for optical wavelength division multiplex and for xPSK(QPSK,8PSK,TC8PSK) and 16APSK modulation systems. It specifies the downstream video signal transmission and thus the two-way optical transmission system 

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN 60728-13-1:2017 supersedes BS EN 60728-13-1:2012. BS EN 60728-13-1:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 60728-13-1:2012.  

These include: 

• Transmission frequency was expanded in order to achieve satellite signal for 4 K video service. The transmission frequency over FTTH would be 3 300 MHz. 
• High signal modulation case like 16 APSK and 32 APSK was added in order to correspond to transmission for 4 K video service
