User Manual

4.10.2.-  Selecting the Measurement Mode

The Spectrum Analyser mode permits to make different measurements at the same time you see the signals present in the band. The

types of measurements available are:

Terrestrial band - Analogue channels:

Level 

Level measurement of the currently tuned carrier.

C/N 

Video carrier to noise ratio referenced to a noise frequency defined by the user through the Reference Noise
function.

Terrestrial band - Digital channels:

Channel power

Integration method. It consists of scanning the entire channel, calculating the contribution of each portion of the
spectrum to the whole.

C/N

Referenced: Channel level to noise ratio referenced to a noise frequency defined by the user through the Reference
Noise function.

Satellite band - Analogue channels:

Level 

Level measurement of the currently tuned carrier.

C/N 

Video carrier to noise ratio referenced to a noise frequency defined by the user through the Reference Noise
function.

Satellite band - Digital channels

Channel power

Integration method.

C/N

Referenced: Channel level to noise ratio referenced to a noise frequency defined by the user through the Reference
Noise function.

Like in the TV mode, to select the type of measure, press key LEVEL [22], then press keys 

[6] until desired mode is marked and

finally press key ENTER [5] or key LEVEL [22] to activate the new measurement mode.

4.10.2.1.-  Measuring Carrier Levels (Level)

(Only for analogue channels). When selecting this mode on the lower part of the image appears the tuned frequency (or channel) and the

signal level at this frequency. If dual marker function is selected, tuned frequency and signal level are showed for each one of the markers
and, on the far right, the frequency difference and the level between them.

4.10.2.2.-  Measuring the Carrier / Noise ratio (C/N Referenced)

The Carrier/Noise ratio in Spectrum mode is always referenced to a noise frequency defined by the user.

Imagine a situation like the one shown in the next figure: a digital channel (8 MHz BW) adjacent to an analogue channel. When measuring

C/N for the digital channel in TV mode using the Auto setup, the analogue channel may interfere in the noise measurement (given that the
noise level is measured at f

noise

= f

tuning

- 1/2 Channel BW= 650 MHz - 4 MHz = 646 MHz) so under this situation it is recommended to make

the measurement in Spectrum Analyser mode and to define manually the frequency where we want to measure noise (obviously a
frequency where no signal is present); i.e. in the next figure noise is defined to be measured at 655 MHz.
