Signal-to-noise ratio test of wavelength division multiplexing equipment
This part of IEC 61280 provides a parameter definition and a test method for obtaining optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) using apparatus that measures the optical spectrum at a multichannel interface. Because noise measurement is made on an optical spectrum analyzer, the measured noise does not. Wavelength-resolved signal and noise levels provide information on signal level, signal wavelength, and. The Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) is one of the key contributors to network reliability and is especially crucial for network equipment manufacturers using high-speed rates of 10G or more.
