Overview
EN 62150-2:2011 (identical to IEC 62150-2:2010) defines standardized test and measurement procedures for ATM‑PON transceivers used in asynchronous-transfer-mode passive optical networks (ATM‑PON) as recommended by ITU‑T G.983.1. The standard establishes methods to verify that fibre optic transceivers meet the performance specifications referenced in IEC 62149-5. A notable technical update in this edition requires the optical power meter to have a higher saturation power than 2 × Pmean for Pave measurements (Clause 7.3.3).
Key topics and requirements
The standard covers practical test setups and measurement methods for ATM‑PON transceivers, including:
- Test apparatus and ambient conditions: lists required equipment such as optical power meters, variable optical attenuators (VOA), pulse pattern generators, oscilloscopes, BER detectors, optical splitters, calibrated optical spectrum analyzers (OSA), reference Tx/Rx and O/E converters.
- Functional tests: receiver alarm (Rx alarm) and transmitter shutdown (Tx shutdown) verification procedures.
- Optical power measurements: procedures for measuring mean launched power (Pmean / Pave) with the updated power‑meter saturation requirement.
- Spectral measurements: centroidal wavelength and spectral width testing using an OSA.
- Signal quality tests: extinction ratio, optical mask tests and eye‑pattern related measurements.
- Receiver performance: receiver sensitivity (S) and receiver overload (SO) testing, including burst signal patterns and BER-based procedures.
- Measurement configurations and calibration: standardized test configurations, splitter calibration, and detailed measuring procedures (see Clauses 5–7).
The document includes figures and test patterns (burst signal patterns, measurement setups) and normative references for consistent application.
Applications and who uses it
EN 62150-2:2011 is intended for organizations involved in the development, production, verification and deployment of ATM‑PON fibre optic components and systems. Typical users:
- Transceiver and component manufacturers - product design validation and factory acceptance testing.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - compliance testing against IEC 62149-5 performance criteria.
- Network operators and system integrators - acceptance testing and troubleshooting of PON equipment.
- R&D and QA teams - performance benchmarking, interoperability verification and production quality control.
Using these standardized procedures helps ensure consistent, repeatable measurements, regulatory compliance and interoperability within ATM‑PON deployments.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62150 specifies testing and measuring procedures for fibre optic transceivers
for asynchronous-transfer-mode passive optical network (ATM-PON) systems recommended
by ITU-T G.983.1. These testing procedures correspond to methods of examining whether the
transceivers satisfy the performance specifications defined in IEC 62149-5. On the other hand,
the measuring procedures correspond to methods of precise measurement for such
transceivers. The receiver sections of these transceivers can handle burst signals. Therefore,
some procedures described in this standard correspond to the burst signal transmission.

4 Standard ambient conditions
Standard ambient conditions need to be controlled within some range to ensure proper
correlation of data obtained from measurements and tests conducted in various facilities. Test
and measurement procedures shall be conducted under the following ambient conditions
unless otherwise specified. In some cases, special ambient conditions may be needed. Such
conditions can be specified in the performance standard.
Ambient conditions for carrying out measurements and tests are shown in Table 1:

Variations in ambient temperature and humidity shall be kept to a minimum during a series of
measurements.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Power supply
In the d.c. power supply, the voltage fluctuation shall not exceed ±0,5 % or 10 mV, whichever
is the larger. In the a.c. power supply, the higher harmonic content shall not exceed 5 %. If a
commercial supply is used, the higher harmonic content shall not exceed 10 %.
In tests to measure a.c. output, the ripple content of the d.c. power supply, higher harmonic
content of the a.c. power supply and a.c. impedance of the d.c. supply circuit through which
a.c. current flows shall have small values so that they will not affect the measurements. The
power supply shall be sufficient to protect against surges.
62150-2 Ó IEC:2010 – 9 –
5.2 Optical power meter
The optical power meter used shall have a resolution of at least 0,1 dB and shall have been
calibrated for the wavelength and dynamic range of operation for the equipment to be tested.
5.3 Variable optical attenuator
The attenuator shall be capable of attenuation in steps of less than or equal to 0,25 dB and
should be able to provide total attenuation that is 5 dB to 10 dB more than the system gain.
Care should be taken to avoid back reflection into the Tx.
5.4 Pulse pattern generator
The pulse pattern generator shall be capable of providing to the system PRBS signals and
programmable word patterns that are consistent with the signal format (pulse shape,
amplitude, etc.) required at the system input electrical interface of the Tx device.
5.5 Optical splitter
Optical splitter (coupler) should have one input port and two output ports, equipped with
appropriate connectors. The splitting ratio for the output ports should be approximately 50 %
(unless otherwise specified). Since the ATM-PON transceiver adopts the WWDM (1,55/1,3 mm
WDM), an optical splitter whose splitting ratio has little wavelength dependence should be
used.
5.6 Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope that displays the optical and/or electrical eye patterns should have a
bandwidth well in excess of the bandwidth of the low-pass filter, so that the oscilloscope is not
the bandwidth-limiting component of the measurement system. The oscilloscope shall be
triggered either from a local clock signal that is synchronous with the optical and/or electrical
eye patterns, or from a synchronization signal derived from the optical waveform itself.
5.7 Optical jumper cable
Single-mode fibre jumper cables with the appropriate connectors shall be used.
5.8 BER detector
The BER detector evaluates the BER performance of the s
