Constellation
Defines the constellation.
The higher the coding hierarchy, that is the alpha factor, the greater is the distance
between the constellation points of two different quadrants. With identical power out-
put, the high priority path is transmitted more reliably at a higher alpha factor (at the
expense of the low priority path).
"QPSK"
Requires "Hierachy > Non-hierarchical".
"16 QAM/64 QAM"
Requires "Hierachy > Alpha 1/2/4".
The high priority path is mapped to the 4 quadrants and therefore
represents a QPSK.
Remote command:
Channel Bandwidth
Selects the channel bandwidth.
The channel bandwidth correlates with the "Used Bandwidth", that is smaller. For the
correlation between the two bandwidths, see
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DVBT:CHANnel[:BANDwidth]
Used Bandwidth
Defines the used bandwidth.
The used bandwidth correlates with the "Channel Bandwidth", see
. triggers
the used bandwidth value the automatic setting "Channel Bandwidth > Variable".

FFT-Mode
Sets the fast fourier transform (FFT) window to determine the number of carriers per
OFDM symbol.
To find out the number of carriers for a given FFT window, see
