To determine the center frequency for a VSB signal

Choosing the correct center frequency is important for all digital video
demodulation measurements. This task shows you how to determine the
correct center frequency for VSB measurements. To learn how to
determine the correct center frequency for QAM measurements, see the
''Video Demodulation Concepts'' chapter.

uses the analyzer's frequency counter, which cannot be used on time
capture data.

Compute the ideal center frequency:
Center Frequency (LOW SIDE PILOT) =
Center Frequency (HIGH SIDE PILOT) = (Pilot Frequency) −
In this example, the symbol rate is 10.762 MHz, the frequency counter
shows the pilot frequency at 3.308894876 MHz, and the pilot is on the low
side of the spectrum. Using the formula for low-side pilot, the ideal
center frequency is 5.999394876 MHz. A center frequency of 6 MHz is
close enough to ensure carrier lock.
