R&S®SFE100 Test Transmitter
The powerful broadcast signal generator for production test systems
In the production of broadcast consumer electronic equipment such as set-top boxes and televisions, a number of test signals for various transmission standards are required at various frequencies and with different contents. The required signal generators are usually kept in a central transmitter room. The signals are combined in a coupling network and distributed to the individual test stations in the factory via cable, partly over considerable distances. For each channel, a baseband signal is generated, modulated to the corresponding RF, and then amplified to a sufficient level before being fed to the distribution network. This task normally requires three different instruments – baseband generator, modulator, and power amplifier.
