5.15 Constellation Diagram
The constellation diagram is a graphic representation, of the digital symbols
recived over a period of time.
There are different types of constellation diagrams for the different modulation
modes. With the TV EXPLORER HD ISDB-T/T
B
it is possible to display constellations
for ISDB-T/T
B
, DVB-C , DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals.
In the case of an ideal transmission channel, free of noise and interferences, all
symbols are recognised by the demodulator without mistakes. In this case, they are
represented in the constellation diagram as well defined points hitting in the same area
forming a clear dot.
Noise and impairments cause the demodulator to not always read the symbols
correctly. In this case the hits disperse and create different shapes that at the end will
allow to determine at a glance the type of noise in the signal
Each type of modulation is represented in a different way. A 16-QAM signal is
represented on screen by a total of 16 different zones and a 64-QAM is represented by a
diagram of 64 different areas and so on.
The constellation shows in different colours the density of hits and includes
zooming, scrolling and clearing functions for a better graph representation on screen.
