  • Page 24: Digital Channel Measurements

    CSO-4 offset: -1.25MHz The CX380C first measures the signal levels at those frequency offsets of a live carrier then prompts to either use a channel blocker or remove the carrier. The same frequency offsets will be measured after the carrier is removed or blocked and they are used to compare with the previously measured results with a live carrier to determine the final CSO/CTB values.
  • Page 25 - this is often referred to as the "Cliff Effect". Ideally, there should be at least 4 to 5dB of margin from the MER where significant errors occur to allow for system degradation. MER measurements are useful for early detection of non-transient (noise) impairments, such as system noise Ingress. CX380C User Manual RevA00 Page 25 of 105...

    It is important to know how hard the adaptive equalizer is working to determine if there is any margin for system degradation. To solve this problem, the CX380C adaptive equalizer can be turned off, allowing a technician to easily identify, sectionalize and locate these difficult linear type distortion problems.

  • Page 33: Tilt Analysis

    The CX380C measures up to 8 analog and 8 digital channels simultaneously. Normally, the tilt is measured from the lowest frequency channel to the highest frequency channel; however, any two channels can be selected to measure their tilt by tapping on the channel in the bar graph.

    Start Frequency (MHz) and Stop Frequency (MHz) The CX380C allows the entry of Start and Stop frequency in place of the CF and Span. The entry mode can be changed by tapping on the CF or START icon. The entry range is from 5MHz to 1000MHz.
  • Page 36 Dynamic Range CX380C has a dynamic range of 60dB with a display range of 70dB. If the received signal level is higher than the peak of the dynamic range, the RF receiver will be overdriven and results in unexpected spurious spikes on the spectrum display.

  • Page 37: Amplitude Measurements

    Spectrum Analyzers typically do not have an IF or resolution bandwidth wide enough to measure a whole digital signal at once. To overcome this problem, the CX380C makes multiple measurements across the frequency range of the carrier. The powers of each of these measurements are summed up and the average power of the whole channel is calculated.

  • Page 52 Forward Path Sweeps verify the frequency response and proper operation of amplifiers to ensure proper tilt and balancing. The CX380C is fully compatible with the CaLan 3010H+ Headend Sweep Transmitter, which injects active sweep points, enabling a forward path sweep up to 1.8 GHz. Even with an all-digital HFC system, tone insertion between QAM channels is made possible by the CaLan 3010H+'s ability to transmit lower level sweep tones that do not impair live QAM channels.

  • Page 53: Sweep Settings

    This function verifies the frequency response, tilt and proper operation of the amplifiers. CX380C works in conjunction with the CaLan 3010H+ Sweep System installed at the Headend, enabling a return path sweep up to 204 MHz. CX380C operates as a return path transmitter, injecting active sweep points.

    Communications: Two communication downstream frequency settings are required, one for the Forward Sweep and a second for the Return Sweep. The upstream communications for the CX380C to communicate back to the CaLan 3010H+ is set by the 3010H+ and sent to the CX380C on the downstream communications. No upstream communications frequency setup is required.
