Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to noise measurement of digital broadband signals, in particular, a noise measurement method in which an exponential bit signal is transmitted in a low frequency range, and a measurement device to which the same is applied . - 5 [Prior Art] In the network communication technology, in order to increase the bandwidth of network users and the multiplex technology of network multi-directional transmission, a single transmission line often has multiple frequency division and dual: transmission function, For example, in the development of cable TV networks, in the early days, in order to serve the users of the vast area, the system 1 1 has been installed with a number of signal amplification devices from the head end of the system to the trunk and distribution network of the user terminal to maintain the far distance. The receiving user has the same close-range receiving quality, and with the development of broadband switching technology and the technical requirements of two-way network transmission, the signal amplifying device installed on the original cable television network is updated to be a dual-turn amplifier. So that cable TV can also have the network transmission function of two-way digital communication with a single transmission line.凊 Refer to the two-way amplifier module 1 used in the general cable television network as shown in the first figure. Based on the overall integrity of the circuit, the circuit structure of the amplifier is integrated into the single module device by the product supplier. The backplane 2〇10 provides a plurality of external communication ports for connecting transmission line accessories of a specific signal transmission specification, or a component socket 12 which is electrically connected to the inside of the circuit for maintenance and adjustment of the system for the system, Each communication port U includes a head end port 110 connected to the head end of the system and a plurality of terminal ports 112, 113 connected to each user terminal, so that the cable television signal received from the system head 4 200945816 end is transparent. Each terminal is connected to 埠1U, 112, and U3 to a plurality of user terminals. After the specific user terminal obtains the network bidirectional communication authorization, the bidirectional amplifier module 1 can connect the user terminal to the corresponding terminal, 111, 112, 113 single connection lines for electrical connection upload .5 and download digits 1K; these component sockets 12 can be used to interpolate the passive components 12i to adjust the signal characteristics, and more A test pole located at the periphery of the bridge 122 to connect the equipment to enable the two-way A||Ember can be connected to the test contact 122 after the test, in response to different network_environment and fine-tuning the specific corresponding passive components 121 to maintain its signal transmission quality. 10 The second figure shows the test adapter 2 used for the detection of the bidirectional amplifier module 1 , wherein the probe 21 at one end is used to insert the test head 122 'the other end of the transmission head 22 The signal is connected to the test device 122. After the probe 21 is inserted into the test contact 122, the probe 21 is further screwed into the test contact 122 by the screwing portion 23, so that the transfer head 15 is enabled. The electrical circuit is connected to the internal circuit of the bi-directional amplifier module, so that the electric test mode is only used by the Shen 21 deep human bidirectional amplifier module! The heart is electrically connected to the node to be tested, and the wear of the probe 21 after prolonged use is prone to electrical contact failure, which causes problems in measurement engineering and reliability of the test. 20$ cooperates with the internal circuit of the bidirectional amplifier module 1 as shown in the second figure. The input and output nodes 140, 141, 142, I, and 1 should be electrically connected to the backplane. The head end, the terminal connection 埠11〇, the measurement two=, each: Γ夂(4) 2 Since each test node 15 corresponds to 5 in the circuit environment, 200945816 is the adjacent input and output nodes 140, 141, 142, 143 The same conduction path, when testing and calibrating the bidirectional amplifier module 1, once the signal of the test instrument is electrically connected to each test contact 122, the characteristic impedance of the original network transmission signal is changed, and only the test nodes 15 can be used. Reading the best signal 5 characteristics, which in turn replaces the network connections of the input and output nodes 14〇, 141, 142, 143, causes the network transmission interruption of the test process user.

As shown in the fourth and fifth figures, a noise measuring device 3 is provided for the most preferred embodiment of the present invention for connection to a wired network as shown in the first and third figures. The bidirectional amplifier 1 can be used by the signal analysis device to measure the noise of the digital signal carried by the digital signal uploaded from the user terminal to the head end and can maintain the transmission of the digital signal on the cable television network. The noise measuring device 3 is provided with a circuit board 30 and a test attenuator 40 and a test connector 50 electrically connected to the circuit board 30, wherein: the circuit is as shown in FIG. The board 30 is made of a multilayer printed circuit board having a wheel-in terminal 3〇1, a first--second output terminal 302, 8 200945816 303 and a grounding terminal 304' and is provided with a switching line η, first a second transmission line 32, 33, an output line 34, a grounding circuit 35 and a vertical: one of the component end groups 36, the switching line 31 functions as a signal splitter for the input The electrical transmission of the terminal 301 is converted into a two-transmission path, so that the two transmission lines 32 and 33 can be simultaneously transmitted. The first transmission line 32 is disposed on the upper layer 3a of the multi-layer printed circuit board, and the one end is electrically connected to the input through the transmission line 31. The signal received from the input terminal 3〇1 maintains the impedance matching characteristic. The second terminal 301 is electrically connected to the first output end 302. The second transmission line 33 is electrically connected to the input node 361 of the component end group 36 under the multilayer printed circuit board, and is vertically connected. The upper layer 30a is electrically connected to the input terminal 3〇1 through the adapter line 31. The output line 34 is disposed on the upper layer 30a and electrically connected to the output node 362 of the component end group 36 and the first end respectively. The two output terminals 303 are adjacent to the first and second transmission lines 32 and 33 and the output line 34 I5 adjacent to the specific spacing, and are electrically connected to the ground terminal 304 and the component end group 36. Ground node 363. Referring to the fourth and sixth figures, the test attenuator 40 is a pluggable passive component having three electrical pins, and the nodes 361, 362, and 363 of the component end group 36 are electrically connected to each other. The input and output nodes 361, 2 362 have a specific DC resistance value between the input and output pins, and the internal circuit structure is designed to match the circuit layout of the circuit board 30 and the characteristics of the actual transmitted signal. The appropriate amount of power attenuation is caused by the test attenuator 40, and the signal characteristic impedance outputted through the test attenuator 40 corresponds to the characteristic impedance input from the input terminal 301 of the circuit board 30. 9 200945816 The test connector 50 is a coaxial signal transmission structure for connecting the signal analysis instrument, and has a shaft metal 51 electrically connected to the first output end 302, and a grounding ring surrounding the axis metal 51 52 is electrically connected to the ground circuit 35. .5 Since the user uploads the network digital signal, as shown in the third figure, the frequency duplexer 161, 162, 163 of the bidirectional amplifier 1 connected to any of the terminals 141, 142, 143 is electrically connected.
