Chapter 1 OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

(PDH)
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy

Introduction
• Plesiochronous is a Greek word meaning Almost Synchronous , but not fully
synchronous.

• In Plesiochronous system every equipment is generating its own clock for


synchronization.

Generation Of PCM Signal(Digital Signal)

Digitization Process
Telephony signals:

• 4 Khz Voice signal is sampled at twice the frequency- 8000 Hz


• Samples are Quantised- Benchmarked to nearest predefined levels
• Quantised samples are encoded using 8 binary bits
• Each Voice channel hence occupies
8x8000 = 64000 Bits per Second = 64 Kbps

PCM Line Sampling

Sampling rate = 8,000 samples/second – how?

Nyquist Theorem: sampling rate = 2 x highest audible


frequency (4,000 Hz)

 2 x 4,000 = 8,000 samples/second

Each sample is 8 bits wide: the resulting signal rate will be


8 bits x 8,000 samples/second = 64,000 bits/second, hence

1 DS0 = 64 Kb/s

Multiplexing Hierarchy

PDH (D1 Level )(PCM 30 Mux )


32 * 64 KHz = 2.048 Mb/s
Capacity = 30 Base Channels

PDH (D2 Level )


4 * 2.048 +stuffing bits = 8.448 Mbps
Capacity = 120 Base Channels

PDH (D3 Level )


4 * 8.448 + stuffing bits = 34.368 Mbps
Capacity = 480 Base Channels

PDH (D4 Level )


4 * 34.368 +stuffing bits = 139.264 Mbps
Capacity = 1920 Base Channels

PDH E1 Frame

Frame Sync & Alarms Signaling

 CH1 of every even frame consists of FAS Cx0011011 & every odd frame consists
of Cx1ASaSaSaSaSa.
 CH16 of every frame consists of Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)

PDH Multi Frame


PDH System

 TERMINAL EQUIPMENT
 REGENERATOR

Line Terminating Equipment(LTE)

 Line Terminating Equipment is an equipment that terminates a link or a line

 It is the end equipment in any link or a line, which can either multiplex or de-
multiplex optical signals but cannot perform both the operations

 In an LTE the Optical signal is converted to electrical domain and the operation of
multiplexing or de-multiplexing is done in electrical domain

 The electrical signal is again converted back to the Optical signal and then
transmitted

Bit-Interleaved Multiplexing

• It is TDM
• One bit will be taken from all Tributaries.

Limitations Of PDH

 Multiplexing / Demultiplexing is time consuming

Drop & Add

 There is insufficient provision for network management within the


PDH frame format for them to be able to do this.

 No standard for synchronization

 Standard equipment from different vendors are not compatible

 Increase in number of equipments required.

 There's no standardized definition of PDH bit rates greater than


140 Mbit/s
