General Description and Principle of Operation 

2.1

 

Function 

The

DVB-C  IT-19C  signal  Analyzer  is  designed  for

measuring

parameters  of  TV  channels  with 

analog modulation: video level, video level to sound level ratio, video level to noise level ratio. You 
can also measure power of TV channel with digital modulation. 

For  signals  of  DVB-C  and  J.83  Annex  B  digital  cable  television  standards,  the  Analyzer  allows  to 
measure parameters of reception quality — Modulation Error Ratio  (MER), Bit Error Ratio  (BER), 
the  number  of  wrong  MPEG  stream  packets,  the  noise  immunity  margin  (MARGIN),  and  the 
constellation diagram (on PC screen). 

IT-19C  provides  with  the  automatic  settings  detection  mode  (channel  frequency,  symbol  rate, 
modulation type). There is a spectrum analysis mode aimed at searching for any unwanted signal. 
The Analyzer can be connected to a PC for additional service modes. The Analyzer allows you to 
measure  the  direct  and  alternating  voltage  of  remote  distribution  receiving  systems  of  TV  and 
radio broadcasting network power supply.
