EuroDOCSIS Transmission Characteristics
Downstream RF Channel Transmission Characteristics
Transmission is from the headend combiner to the cable modem input at the customer location.
Measurement methods are defined in CENELEC 50083-7 documentation.

Frequency range
1
1. For measurements shown, the normal downstream operating frequency band (except hum), impairments are referenced to the highest-frequency
PAL/SECAM carrier level.
Cable system normal downstream operating range is from
47 MHz to as high as 862 MHz. However, the operating range
for data communication is from 108 to 862 MHz. The use of
frequencies between 108 and 136 MHz may be forbidden due
to national regulation with regard to interference with
aeronautical navigation frequencies.
RF channel spacing (design bandwidth) 7/8 MHz, 8 MHz channels are used for data communication
Transit delay from headend to most distant customer ≤ 0.800 msec (typically much less)
Carrier-to-noise ratio in a 8-MHz band (analog video level) Not less than 44 dB
2
2. This presumes that the digital carrier is operated at analog peak carrier level. When the digital carrier is operated below the analog peak carrier level, the
carrier-to-noise ratio may be less.
Carrier-to-interference ratio for total power (discrete and
broadband ingress signals)
Not less than 52 dB within the design bandwidth
Composite triple beat distortion for analog modulated carriers PAL—Not greater than –57 dBc within the design bandwidth
SECAM—Not greater than –52 dBc within the design
bandwidth.
Composite second order distortion for analog modulated
carriers
PAL—Not greater than –57 dBc within the design bandwidth.
SECAM—Not greater than –52 dBc within the design
bandwidth.
Cross-modulation level Under consideration
