The Most Compact Solution On The Market: Rohde & Schwarz TV Analyzer Integrates Digital And Analog Measurements

Munich - Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its R&S ETL TV analyzer with two new analog options that provide analog video line analysis capability and video generator functionality. The most compact solution on the market, the R&S ETL analyzes and generates both analog and digital test signals in a single box. Transmitter manufacturers, network operators and service technicians can perform their most important measurements without additional equipment.

Despite the global switchover to digital TV, analog networks are still being operated and deployed. Some are being enhanced with new transmitters to ensure better coverage, while others are being transitioned from analog to digital operation. During this transition phase, the two will operate in parallel.

For years, the R&S ETL has enabled commissioning engineers to perform complete acceptance tests on digital transmitters. The new options make it possible to carry out these tests on analog transmitters as well.

The R&S ETL-K202 option handles all video line analysis measurements. The parameters of all common ATV standards are predefined for convenient setup and configuration. Additional hardware is not required. Clearly structured screen pages display measurement results so they can be read at a glance.

The R&S ETL K203 option generates a standard-conforming analog TV signal that can be fed to the transmitter and is also needed for video line analysis.

The R&S ETL-K202 option for video line analysis and the R&S ETL-K203 video generator are now available from Rohde & Schwarz
