TTC T-BERD 310-1 DS1/DSO Analyzer

The TTC T-BERD 310-1 DS1/DSO Analyzer is a modular digital communications test instrument engineered for DS1 and DSO signal generation, measurement, and analysis across telecommunications infrastructure. It addresses testing requirements in central offices, laboratories, mobile telephone switching offices, and manufacturing environments with field-upgradeable architecture supporting evolving network demands.

– Technical Specifications

The 310-1 configuration delivers DS1/DSO analysis with DS1 scanning and automatic payload detection. It measures transmit and receive frequency, signal level, and power across digital circuits. Pulse shape analysis conforms to 1991 and 1993 ANSI and ITU-T specifications for DS3 circuits, enabling correlation of error bursts with level dropouts and frequency variations during installation.

Jitter measurements extend to DS3 and SONET signals, including in-service DS3 jitter detection for SONET SPE pointer adjustment analysis. Frequency spectrum analysis operates on demodulated jitter output.

– Key Features

• DS1 scan with automatic payload detection and ESF data link analysis
• Programmable loop codes and test patterns; DS1 timing slips measurement
• Fractional T1 testing for leased contiguous and non-contiguous channels
• Automatic detection of received AMI or B8ZS coded signals; transmit capability in both formats
• DS1 timing reference from SONET, DS3, DS1, or BITS access points
• DS0 voice quality verification and signaling bit analysis via drop from DS1 to OC-12 access points
• BITS timing analysis for asynchronous and synchronous network impairment isolation
• ESF synchronization message decoding for BITS clock source assessment
• Complete pulse shape analysis for DS3 conformance verification
• ATM traffic simulation with advanced error insertion; ATM analysis options available
• SONET/SDH support for OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-48c signals with automatic conformance testing
• DWDM and optical media testing capabilities

– Typical Applications

DS1/DSO circuit troubleshooting, BITS timing isolation, fractional T1 leased channel validation, ATM traffic simulation, and SONET/SDH conformance verification.
