MDSG-031
Signal Generator for Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting

Signal Generator for Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting
MDSG-031 is a signal generator conformed to Japanese Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting standard (ISDB-T). The device consists of TS data generator, OFDM modulator, Upconverter, Noise generator, PRBS signal generator and BER measurement unit.
<< Major Features >>
- Three waves output
- The MDSG-031 integrates three upconverters. Each converter can individually program frequencies, output levels and C/N. Each wave can output from three terminals or three combined waves can output from one terminal. As for combined waves, one wave can be used as a main signal, the two other waves as interference signals (interference of adjacent channels).Wideband measurement will be easily realized by assigning three waves to high, middle and low frequency ranges.
- Wide dynamic range
- The output level can be programmed in the range from -100dBm to +10dBm.
- BER measurement (Option)
- The MDSG-031 uses PRBS (PN23 or PN15) as transmission data. The injection point of PRBS can be programmed before Reed-Solomon or before/after convolution codes. The device also has a function of BER measurement. (MPEG-TS input)In addition, BER measurement at multiple locations will be enabled with a use of the BCS-010, a BER measurement unit.
- Noise Generator
- The MDSG-031 can program the noise level (C/N from 0dB to 40dB) to be added to the three waves individually. Inspections to use different C/N for different channels can be made without changing settings.
- Fading (Option)
- The MDSG-031 can generate fading signals in the three waves individually, which will be used for tests for diversity of mobile receiver.
- Output of moving pictures (Option)
- By the use of data of moving pictures (MPEG2 TS) stored in the internal memory moving pictures can output. It can be used for aging test process for television sets.
