DVB-T/H with T2 X-Series Measurement App, Traditional UI N6153EM0D

Technical Overview

– DVB-T/H/T2 RF transmitters, modulators, gap-fillers, tuners, or amplifiers measurements

– Single frequency network measurement (supports pre-, post-, 0 dB, and out-of-GI echo scenarios)

– Auto-detect demodulation parameters from TPS decoding of DVB-T/H or from L1-Signalling of DVB-T2

– DVB-T2 supports both single PLP and multi-PLP modes as well as SISO and MISO measurements

– One-button tests with pass/fail limit per DVB-T, DVB-H, and DVB-T2 standards

– Hardkey/softkey manual user interface or SCPI remote control

– Built-in, context-sensitive help

– Flexible licensing provides the option of using perpetual or time based licenses with one or multiple signal analyzers

DVB-T/H with T2 Measurement Application

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N6153EM0D measurement application provides one-button, standards-based power and modulation analysis capabilities to help you with designing, evaluating, and manufacturing DVB-T/H/T2 modulators, transmitters, amplifiers, tuners, and gap-fillers/repeaters. Optional analog baseband IQ inputs in the PXA or MXA signal analyzer provide you the flexibility to measure signal quality and mod-ulation accuracy with RF input or analog IQ input.

X-Series measurement applications can help you:

– Gain more insight into device performance with intuitive display and graphs for your application. Select from our library of over 25 different measurement applications.

– Ensure that your design meets the latest standard. Updates are made to the X-Series measurement applications as standards evolve.

– Apply the same measurement science across multiple hardware platforms for consistent measurement results over your design cycle from R&D to production.

– Choose the license structure that meets your business needs. We provide a range of license types (node-locked, transportable, floating or USB portable) and license terms (perpetual or time-based).

DVB-T/H Standards Overview

Digital video broadcasting-terrestrial/ handheld (DVB-T/H) is the Europeanbased consortium standard for broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial/handheld television.

DVB-T

DVB-T is a flexible system that allows networks to be designed for the delivery of compressed digital audio, video, and other data in an MPEG transport stream using OFDM modulation with concatenated channel coding (i.e. COFDM). It is the most widely adopted digital terrestrial television broadcasting standard in the world and is deployed in more than 30 countries.

In DVB-T, the use of OFDM modulation with appropriate guard interval allows optimal tradeoff between network topology and frequency efficiency. The capacity for hierarchical modulation can enable two completely separate data streams to transmit in a single signal which can be used to trade off bit rate versus ruggedness. DVB-T has the following technical characteristics that make it a very flexible system.
