1. GENERAL
1.1 Description
The consolidation of Digital TV boosted the installation of “Direct To Home”
satellite TV systems. The continuous release of new packages or 'bouquets' and
services such as Internet require new simplified installation procedures that are capable
of guaranteeing the quality of the signal received.
Because of the wide range of services offered by current satellites and the
increasing in the amount of signals, we have developed new tests, improving the ones
available in classic satellite detectors and meters.
The SATHUNTER is the answer to the need for an installation tool that allow
making the job in a fast way and it includes all necessary measurements to secure the
quality of reception. There is a need to discern among satellites, to adjust the antenna
and to check the quality of the digital signal.
The SATHUNTER has been designed to guarantee the maximum number of
installations with the best quality, helping the installer to evaluate the results.
The equipment determines if the quality of the signal is enough for reception.
For that, it is based on the internal BER measurement and the modulation error ratio
(MER).
The SATHUNTER processes all the information and gives to the installer just
the information he requires , making his work as easy as possible.
The SATHUNTER is very easy to use and it guides the user through three
steps, enabling to localize the satellite, guaranteeing its identification and accurately
adjusting the receiver antenna to obtain the best quality of signal.
At the SATHUNTER , the measurement to determinate the quality of the signal
is the MER, which is directly related to the BER (Bit Error Rate). The instrument
displays ‘BER’ and “MER” on the display in graphic bars and alphanumeric data. Quality
threshold can be configured by each user.
