Conformance test concept for the Home Bus System

Conformance testing for the Home Bus System (HBS) was studied with regard to the extent of its appropriateness based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model. The objectives of the conformance test were: to inspect hardware and software to avoid interference with each other, and to ensure quality for the consumer. The authors consider each evaluation test item, classified into transmission system evaluation and terminal system evaluation that is related to either transmission media of channels. The former relate to transmission system characteristics composed of impedance, VSWR, lossless and wave transmission characteristics in regard to both the system and its elements. The first half (OSI Layer 1, 2) of the conformance test procedure has been determined and performed with good results.<
