IT-087 Digital TV QAM Signal Analyzer

it-087
The IT-087 Digital TV QAM Signal Analyzer is a configuration of the IT-08 Multifunction TV Meter comprised of MB-08 Base Unit and MC-087 Removable Module. IT-087 is designed to ensure high-performance control and adjustment of television and broadcasting distribution networks as well as of separate components of such networks, or other electronic devices. The Meter allows measurement of DVB-C signal parameters and analog signals. IT-087 is capable to satisfy all your measurement needs for high-quality operation within the range of 45 to 865 MHz.




IT-087 GENERAL FEATURES:

  • lightweight and compact handheld design
  • measurement modes:
    • BER/MER mode performs measurements of DVB-C channels and indicates results on a bar-graph or a constellation diagram
    • SPECTRUM mode provides the scanning of entire band with the span defined by the user from 18 to 72 MHz
    • SCAN, TILT and RIPPLE modes indicate the level of all the channels present in the band (or channels according to the channel plan) on a bar-graph
    • SCAN, TILT and RIPPLE modes indicate the level of all the channels (or channels according to the channel table), present in the band, on a bar-graph display and provide the tuning of channel levels
  • LEVEL measurements:
    • for analog channels: channel level, Carrier to Noise (C/N) ratio, Video to Audio (V/A) ratio
    • for digital channels: channel power, Carrier to Noise (C/N) ratio.
  • measurement of reception quality parameters of digital channels:
    • modulation error rate (MER)
    • bit error rate (BER) before and after Reed-Solomon decoder
    • channel carrier frequency offset from the tuning frequency
  • data logger function providing storage for:
    • up to 32 channel plans (with channel names) and automatic channel plan creation. Automatic search for digital channel parameters (modulation type, symbol rate)
    • up to 200 measurement logs (each indicating channel levels, C/N and V/A ratios), checking the parameter compliance with the limit plan and saving comments and measurement date and time. For digital channels channel power within bandwidth, S/N ratio, BER, and MER are measured
    • up to 200 spectrum analyzer logs with 125 kHz step, adjustable scanning span and saving comments and measurement date and time. Saving up to 14 spectrum logs within the full frequency range
  • analog channels audio reproduction with internal speaker
  • measurement of AC/DC input voltage within the range of 10 to 100 V
  • operation with PC for access to additional modes:
    • performing all kinds of measurements
    • viewing and editing channel plan pages
    • updating software and firmware
    • editing channel template
