DIN EN 61300-3-38:2013-04

This part of IEC 61300 describes the measurement methods necessary to characterise the group delay properties of passive devices and dynamic modules. From these measurements further parameters like group delay ripple, linear phase deviation, chromatic dispersion, dispersion slope and phase ripple can be derived. Furthermore, when these measurements are made with resolved polarization, the differential group delay can also be determined as an alternative to individual measurement in accordance with the associated methods in IEC 61300-3-32. Modern communication networks form the backbone of any communication. Saving the integrated components is an important element of the sustainable infrastructure. The standard is directed at manufacturers, users and testing institutes. Reference is made in the performance standard series IEC 61754, amongst others. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 412.7 "LWL-Verbindungstechnik und passive optische Komponenten" ("Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive optical components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
