INTRODUCTION
The AP 301 field strength meter offers a full range of terrestrial TV, cable TV (CATV), the 1
st
IF satellite bands and, as an option, the return path 5÷65 MHz.
Its outstanding features are:
•
Broad dynamics of measurable level: from 20 to 130 dBµV in terrestrial, CATV and SAT
ranges, from 40 to 130 dBµV in HF range (5÷65 MHz).
•
Huge quantity of possible measures. In particular, besides the traditional level of
analogue signals, the instrument provides the ratio between video and audio carriers for
terrestrial and CATV bands, the carrier/noise ratio and the power of digital signals, both
terrestrial and satellite.
•
An accurate analysis of digital signals. According to the different available versions, BER,
MER and other important parameters of QPSK/8PSK, QAM, COFDM modulations can be
measured. These digital channels, if free-to-air, may be watched through the MPEG
decoder.
•
Colour LCD 5.7” to display TV signals, spectrum analysis, horizontal synch pulse,
analogue measurement bars, options on OSD during programming, indication of
frequency, channel, level, program and instrument status, menu.
•
Frequency-synthesis tuning (PLL) throughout all ranges with double frequency marker.
•
Spectrum analyzer with variable selectivity and frequency scan, display of frequency on
the abscissas (X) and width on the ordinates (Y).
•
Audio demodulation: AM, FM, intercarrier TV mono, audio satellite subcarriers with
frequency-synthesis tuning (PLL) and variable selectivity.
•
Optional noise generator.
•
LNB power supply and control from 5 to 24 V, 22 kHz and current-absorption monitor.
•

•
Data Logger with 5 plans of 50 programs each, capability of approximately 1500
acquisitions.
•
Standard SCART socket.
•
RS232 and USB connection to PC.
•
Mains power supply through external charger or internal-battery power supply with built-
