Measuring the Downstream RF Signal

Figure4-3 Viewing the Downstream IF Signal on a Spectrum Analyzer

Step5 Measure the IF signal using the channel power option on your spectrum analyzer. Set your channel

spacing and your channel bandwidth to 6MHz. Your analyzer should display a signal similar to the one

shown in Figure4-4.

Figure4-4 Measuring the IF Channel Power

Note The IF channel power in Figure 4-4 is +34.23 dBmV, as displayed on the spectrum analyzer.

Step6 Select the video averaging feature. Your spectrum analyzer should display a signal similar to the one

shown in Figure4-5.
