R&S®TSM-DVB DVB-T/H Diversity Test Receiver

Flexible solution for fast mobile DVB-T/H coverage measurements

Features

RF section

  • N-type female antenna connectors
  • 2K, 4K or 8K OFDM modulation
  • VHF (ch. 5 to ch. 12) and UHF (ch. 21 to ch. 69)
  • 5 MHz, 6 MHz, 7 MHz or 8 MHz operating bandwidth
  • 166.667 kHz frequency step
  • ±167 kHz or ±125 kHz frequency offset supported without configuration
  • VSWR max. 3 dB
  • –92 dBm to –20 dBm input sensitivity (depends on DVB-T/H mode, low values: QPSK only)
  • Level accuracy ±3 dB (0 – 15°C, level <= -30 dBm); ±2 dB (15 – 50°C, level <= -30 dBm)

DVB-T/H demodulation

  • Fully compliant with ETS300744
  • Includes hierarchical modes (selection of stream priority)
  • DVB-H signaling performed/not performed
  • MPE-FEC is used/not used on HP/LP stream
  • Automatic mode detection from TPS information (even at 0 dB C/N), TPS bits b16 to b55
  • Dual-stream demodulation in hierarchical mode
  • In-depth deinterleaver
  • Dual-stream demodulation in redundant mode with automatic or manual switching
  • Diversity mode
  • DVB-H signaling (time-slicing and MPE-FEC) in TPS field (no power reduction and no MEP-FEC decoding), time-slicing used/not used on HP/LP stream
