Question 10/5 - Methodology for solving electromagnetic problems in telecommunications installations

New question

Type of question

Task-oriented

Reason for question

Telecommunications equipment and systems fulfil emission, immunity and resistibility requirements requested by K-series Recommendations and are normally installed on plants and connected to networks following installation practices suggested by the K-series. The objective of these K-series Recommendations is to reduce the risk of damages and malfunctions to telecommunication systems below a tolerable level. However damages and disturbances cannot be avoided, as confirmed by field experience. This question seeks to define an appropriate approach to solve emission, immunity and resistibility problems, i.e. electromagnetic problems in telecommunication installations.

Text of question

This question will provide the route for solving electromagnetic problems in telecommunication installations emerging during the field service, even when the telecommunication equipment or system complies with the requested electromagnetic requirements and is properly installed.

The question will collect and categorize the problems already faced by the network operator, will describe how they have been solved and will study new problems coming from the field.

This question will also study possible techniques to be used in order to minimize the risk of damages and disturbances.

The results of the collected information and studies could ultimately provide guidance to amend existing specifications, to issue new specifications and on how to build an expert system to minimize and solve electromagnetic problems which could appear in telecommunication installations during their service and could be an input for new EMC and resistibility recommendations or for amending existing ones.

Specific objective and time-frame

Recommendations and/or Guidelines and/or Handbook collecting information on typical electromagnetic problems in telecommunication installations, on how they have been solved and providing guidance on how the appearance of these problems could be minimized.
