The R&S ETL supports all required transmitter and cable headend measurements.

The R&S ETL TV analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz now offers options that support the North American ATSC Mobile DTV standard, the U.S. J.83/B cable standard and the Japanese ISDB-T standard. In addition, software for automated compliance testing of ATSC transmitters is being made available free of charge, for a multistandard, all-in-one solution for transmitter operators, transmitter manufacturers and regulatory agencies.

The R&S ETL performs all required measurements on TV transmitters or cable headends for quality assurance in the production of TV transmitters or modulators. The R&S ETL-K220 option for ATSC handles measurements on the RF layer in line with the new ATSC Mobile DTV standard. The R&S ETL-K221 option can be used to optimize ATSC and ATSC Mobile DTV single-frequency networks. When equipped with two other new options, the R&S ETL also supports the U.S. J.83/B cable standard and the Japanese ISDB-T standard.
