In digital radio-relay systems, two basic methods are commonly used for the transmission of service channel signals (that is voice, supervisory and control signals) (see annex A, ref. 6). The first transmission method uses analogue transmission techniques where the i.f. or r.f. carrier signal of the digital modulator is directly frequency-modulated by the analogue service channel signal, which is then recovered at the receive end by an f.m. demodulator (for example in the carrier recovery circuit of a coherent digital demodulator). In the second method of transmission, digital transmission is used and the service channel signal is transmitted in the form of separate bits inserted into the main bit stream by a multiplexer (possibly together with a bit stream carrying additional information). For digital transmission, the service channel signal may be either an analogue signal which is digitally encoded for bit insertion or a digital signal, in which case suitable code conversion is normally applied in order to convert the line code into a code suitable for the radio equipment. At the receive end, a demultiplexer is used to recover the service channel bits and thus supply, after suitable decoding or code conversion, the service channel output signal. Normally, more than one service channel is transmitted. Sometimes an additional bit stream (for example alarm control signals for protection switching and supervisory equipment) may also be transmitted. Suitable multiplexing and demultiplexing equipment is then used, such as frequency division multiplexing for analogue transmission, and time division multiplexing for digital transmission. The use of time division multiplexing also allows the simultaneous digital transmission of analogue and digital service channel signals. Figure 1 shows the simultaneous application of all the above possible service channel transmission systems. However, in a given radio-relay link, only one or two of these systems is used at a time. 1.2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this section of IEC 835-2.

The deviation sensitivity of the modulator is a function of the baseband frequency if a pre-emphasis network is applied.

The r.f. output port of the transmitter is connected, via a suitable r.f. attenuator, to a down converter which converts the frequency of the r.f. output signal to the i.f. range, and a deviation meter is connected to the i.f. output of the down converter. The down converter and deviation meter are both commercially available items of equipment. The reading of the deviation meter is noted, and the deviation sensitivity is calculated as the ratio of the deviation to the input level. A simple alternative method can be applied if the modulation index is large enough, for example if f is 70 kHz and modulation frequency is 1 kHz. On a spectrum analyzer with calibrated frequency axis, the f.m. spectrum around the centre frequency produced by a sinusoidal drive signal is displayed using a measurement bandwidth around 1 % of the deviation to be measured. The peak-to-peak deviation can be read immediately as indicated in Figure 2. In case the deviation meter or spectrum analyzer is not able to measure properly when the carrier is modulated by the main bit stream, it may be necessary to carry out the measurement in the absence of modulation. 2.2.3 Presentation of results Input signal level and frequency, together with the measured deviation and the calculated deviation sensitivity, are tabulated. 2.2.4 Details to be specified The following items should be included, as required, in the detailed equipment specifica
