Abstract

We performed field test and analyzed results of field test in variable HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) network environments. And we investigated whether the test results is satisfied in DOCSIS(Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification) 2.0 and OpenCable standard. Also, we propose HFC improvement problem for HFC Network quality as BcN(Broadband convergence Network) access network. We tested three sample areas. The sample areas represent various type of SO(System Operator) in korea. The field test was to measure signal level about digital channels. In results of multiple digital channels, in case of "Equalizer ON", we could be obtained very good test results. The results of field test were shown in satisfying recommended values in DOCSIS 2.0 and OpenCable. So, we could have confidence through field test that BcN will be possible to be adapted to environment of korea HFC network.
