Agilent Technologies, Inc. N7623B-UFP Advanced ATSC, fixed, perpetual license

Signal creation

• Create fully coded ATSC 8VSB or 16VSB signal
• Configure ATSC signal with modulation type 8 VSB or 16 VSB , Pre-coder On/Off, RS encoder On/Off, customized filter roll-off factor and Pilot addition
• Payload supports: Data pattern (All 1s, All 0s, PN9, PN15, User-defined pattern, TS NULL packet), ColorBar sample and MPEG2-TS file
• Automate with .NET API and .NET remoting

Use case

• Characterize modulation and power behavior and performance of transmitter components
• Receiver chipset design and verification, performance test (IC design house or certification lab)
• Receiver module integration and verification (terminal vendors)
• Receiver manufacturing for mobile phones or set top boxes

Licensing

• Fixed, perpetual license (Option UFP)
• May be available as a transportable license (Option UTP) and floating license (Option UNP)
• License individual waveforms for your X-Series, ESG signal generator or EXT wireless communications test set using 5-pack or 50-pack

ATSC is a standard developed by Advanced Television System Committee to transmit the terrestrial digital TV signal in USA replacing the analog NTSC system. ATSC is only optimized for a fixed reception in the typical North American environment and uses 8VSB modulation.

Option UFP simplifies the creation of ATSC modulated signal which are fully validated and optimized for RF performance. Easily generate ATSC ideal signal or signal with frequency error, clock error, AWGN, I/Q impairments, multi-paths or multi-carriers to test the transmitter component, receiver performance test, receiver chipset design, receiver module integration or receiver manufacturing. Create ATSC signals with data pattern as payload for BER test or with ColorBar sample or MPEG2-TS file as payload with seamless playback for subjective test.

This option can be added as a product upgrade.
