Troubleshooting the This section provides information on troubleshooting the QPSK demodulator in a QPSK Demodulator TDR6 configured with a
Input Status LED Not Illuminated
If the Status LED is not illuminated, the demodulator, decoder, or the transport stream is not locked. This problem may be caused by:
■Receive signal Eb/N0 level is to low
■Receive signal power level is to low
■Receive carrier offset is wrong
Receive Signal Eb/N0 Level
The Eb/N0 value in the Details menu under Input/Status displays the estimated Eb/N0 level of the receive signal in units of decibels (dB).
The minimum Eb/N0 level required by the QPSK demodulator for flawless video reception at each Viterbi Code Rate is listed in the following table.
Viterbi Code Rate And Eb/No Minimum Levels for QPSK
Demodulator
Viterbi Code Rate | Minimum Eb /N0 (dB) |
1/2 | 4.5 |
|
|
2/3 | 5.0 |
|
|
3/4 | 5.5 |
|
|
5/6 | 6.0 |
|
|
7/8 | 6.4 |

An Eb/N0 level above the minimum DVB requirement is acceptable.
■If the Eb/N0 level drops below the minimum DVB requirement, the video reception can be interrupted or of poor quality.
■If the Eb/N0 level is above the minimum DVB requirement, the TDR6 should acquire the carrier, demodulate the signal, allow the decoder to lock the transport stream, and provide decoded video and audio output.
For information on estimating the Eb/N0 level, refer to the appendix on the QPSK demodulator.
