The R&S ETL equipped with the R&S ETL-K321 software option allows users to precisely determine the frequency offsets of all transmitters in an SFN with a single measurement.

The R&S ETL equipped with the R&S ETL-K321 software option allows users to precisely determine the frequency offsets of all transmitters in an SFN with a single measurement.

Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its R&S ETL TV analyzer with a set of comprehensive functions developed for ATSC Mobile DTV (ATSC MDTV).

The new capabilities give the R&S ETL analyzer all of the functions necessary for measurements for installing, commissioning and maintaining ATSC MDTV networks using a single instrument. The analyzer even makes broadcast drive tests possible. The analyzer also offers the analysis tools needed to optimize ATSC MDTV single-frequency networks (SFNs).

Using the R&S ETL-K320 software option, the TV analyzer determines whether transmitters function in conformance with the ATSC MDTV specifications and whether network coverage is complete. For coverage measurements in the field, Rohde & Schwarz also offers the R&S BCDRIVE software. Data measured at a number of stations can be analyzed in detail and displayed in straightforward fashion using the software.
