LEVELS PAGE
Select the Levels icon from the Menu page and press the
OK
button to enter the menu.
The Levels page shows a bar graph representation of the signals measured by Radio Explorer II.
The parameters are divided into groups. Each bar graph displays the low, average and high values
of the signal. The number, placed below the bar graph - in the middle, represents the average value.
The shaded color number, placed on the left and right bottom edges, denotes the measurement
range of the signal. Measurement units and name of the signal are written above the corresponding
bar graph.
Group 1. RF carrier related parameters
The
RF level
at the selected antenna input is measured in dBμV. The RF attenuation is included
in the level calculation.
The
Frequency offset
of the RF carrier is measured in kHz. This signal measures the misalignment
between the modulation and demodulation frequency. As the misalignment is expected to be small,
a large offset will indicate disturbance (for example adjacent channel breakthrough).
The
Frequency offset
is measured with better accuracy if there is no modulation of the carrier.
The usable range depends on the selected IF filter bandwidth. For better results, we recommend
the IF filter bandwidth to be manually set to 153 kHz.
The Level of
multipath
reception is measured in percentages. The multipath detector measures
the amplitude fluctuations of the signal. The FM signal is broadcast with a fixed level; therefore
the level fluctuations will indicate degraded signal quality. At multipath conditions, large level
fluctuations can be measured. Install the antenna at the reception point with the lowest multipath
level in order to achieve better re-broadcast.
