R&S®EFA90/93 Test Receiver (M/N Analog TV)

New high-end M/N TV demodulator

Key Facts
Picture R&S®EFA90/93 Test Receiver (M/N Analog TV)

Rohde & Schwarz provides a high-end measurement device that can cover all application areas from R&D to field measurements. This R&S EFA model was created to offer the best performance and the most useful features to test standard M/N transmitters under optimal conditions. To accomplish this, a sound trap filter has been integrated in the unit as well as synchronous and envelope detectors, a BTSC audio decoder and additional features!

To further protect your investment, the unit can be updated by means of options to demodulate and analyze the upcoming digital TV standards ATSC/8VSB and ITU-T J.83/B. These unique features make the new R&S EFA family members THE measurement devices for the present and the future!

R&S EFA 90/93 characteristics

Fully compatible with the FCC standard, the R&S EFA 90/93 models receive and demodulate any analog TV signals to standard M/N (NTSC/BTSC and PAL). All key parameters for demodulating the received signal can be automatically or manually selected:

  • Switchable video bandwidth (sound trap)
  • Switchable group delay correction
  • Switchable synchronous detector (5 different modes)
  • Demodulation using intercarrier method
  • Balanced audio outputs
  • Measurement functions for
    • vision/sound carrier spacing (level and frequency)
    • FM sound carrier and pilot deviation
    • Measurement of video modulation depth and residual picture carrier
    • Input of any IF frequency with the aid of the R&S EFA-B3 option: frequency range continuously tunable from 5 MHz to 1000 MHz
    • Special function: invert spectrum feature (with option R&S EFA-B3)
