Sparnex presents its new LSX 2030 DSL Test Platform

The Sparnex LSX 2030 brings enhanced test capabilities to the DSL test and design engineer thanks to a fully programmable physical layer test platform, perfectly suited for new ADSL2plus and VDSL2 applications and recommendations. Applications

Integrated wireline and noise simulation platform supporting all DSL applications (SHDSL/ADSL2plus/VDSL2):

• Conformance and interoperability testing according ITU, DSL Forum, ATIS and ETSI recommendations
• Engineering/performance testing allowing users to define specific deployment rules of DSL access devices for country specific network characteristics

Benefits

The LSX 2030 provides following unparalleled benefits:

• Universal xDSL Technology Test Platform

  All DSL applications are supported on a single test platform (SHDSL/ ADSL/ ADSL2/ ADSL2plus/ VDSL/ VDSL2
  

• Calibration proof providing guaranteed repeatability:

  The LSX 2030 does not need to be calibrated in order to guarantee perfectly repeatable test results. Thanks to Sparnex’s unique AAC concept, the line simulator is able to reproduce consistent results independent of the calibration date.
  

• All international standards tested with the same platform:

  The LSX 2030 Test platform tests all standards and recommendations across all geographic regions, North America, Europe and Japan.
  

• Ability to reproduce any country specific network characteristics:

  The LSX 2030 is able to test performance compared to standards (like conventional simulator do) as well as test performance under real network conditions for any DSL application, from ADSL to VDSL2.This implies all the test suites that are not in the standards. This full programmability enables the user to reproduce any application specific physical layer, cable type, and loop topology and noise shape characteristic for any unique network in the world.
  

• Future proof for new standard recommendations:

  The Sparnex LSX 2030 permits migration to new standards without the need to invest in new test equipment. The Sparnex LSX 2030 is upgradable to new standard recommendations with software additions.

Key Features

• Bandwidth up to 35 MHz, supporting HDSL, SDSL, SHDSL, ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2 applications
• Fully programmable with a wide variety and flexibility in simulation of parameters (see simulation features)
• AAC ® technology (Active Analog Concept) providing the highest degree of reliability in simulation environments, solving the instability issue inherent to the use of passive components
• Supports all standards and recommendations for North America, Europe and Japan:

• Extensive libraries for standard lines and noises (ITU-ANSI - ETSI – Bellcor e-DSL Forum) and country specific libraries available
• A Windows GUI facilitating an easy and intuitive dialogue between system and user
• Automatic script generator allowing full automation mode
• 7 programmable noise generators with two high impedance noise injectors for simulation of NEXT, FEXT, User Filters, Impulse Noise, RFI, ham radio, REIN, SHINE, Bitswap,….
• Noise import software for customized noise models (PSD or time based)

Simulation Features

• Simulation of lines of different wire diameter, insulation material and temperature
• Simulation of line attenuation, phase shifts and group delay
• Simulation of propagation delays so that echo’s will return only after the co rrect time delay
• Simulation of complex characteristic impedance (selectable) of the line to enable proper testing of analogue hybrid-circuits (Analogue Front End )and generation of the proper echo’s
• Simulation of the DC (copper-) resistance of the line to enable up to 400V remote powering (100 mA)
• Selectable uni-directional or bi-directional operation
