Description

Parameters / Response Values

 

 

 

LO Freq

Sets the frequency to match your LNB downconverter local

2000 to 15000MHz

 

oscillator frequency.

 

 

Note: The IF frequency is the absolute value of the difference

 

 

between the RF frequency and the LO frequency. The

 

 

demodulator has a valid IF frequency in the range of 2150 MHz

 

 

and 950 MHz. Entering values for RF or LO that equal an out of

 

 

range IF frequency value will result in an IF value that is either

 

 

the maximum or the minimum IF frequency.

 

 

 

 

Code Rate

Sets the Viterbi code rate

QPSK: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8

 

 

8PSK: 2/3, 5/6, 8/9

 

 

16QAM: 3/4, 7/8

 

 

 

Sym Rate

Sets the demodulator to the frequency of the incoming RF signal.

37500000 sps and 1000000 Sps

 

Note: If an out-of-range value is entered the TDR6 will not

To convert symbol rate to data rate, use the

 

accept the new value and will revert to the previous value

following equation:

 

entered.

Symbol rate x 2 x (188/204) x FEC code rate

 

Since the data rate is proportional to the symbol rate, entering a

 

 

data rate value might fail if the corresponding symbol rate is out

 

 

of range.

 

 

Converting a symbol rate to data rate and vice versa may be

 

 

subject to a small rounding error. The error is less than

 

 

0.00001%. It is advisable to use the symbol rate representation

 

 

when entering parameters if a conversion error cannot be

 

 

tolerated.

 

 

In cases where the demodulator is not locking on the carrier, it is

 

 

necessary to add an offset to the symbol rate. This compensates

 

 

for the symbol rate drift. The range of the offset is between

 

 

0.0002% and 0.0006%; in general a value of 0.0004% proves

 

 

successful to lock on the carrier in these cases.

 

 

 

 

Data Rate

Sets the data rate of the transport data stream

2 to 48Mbps

 

 

To convert data rate to symbol rate, use the

 

 

following equation:

 

 

Data rate x 1/2 x (204/188) x 1/FEC code rate

 

 

 

LNB Power

Sets the voltage of the LNB

Off, 13 V, 18 V

 

 

 

Acq Range

Defines the size of the frequency range over which the

0 to 7500000 Hz

 

demodulator will search for the carrier.

 

 

 

 

Details>Input>Config>Filter: allows you set the PCR filter

 

 

 

 

PCR Filter

Sets the PCR (program clock reference) filter for normal

Normal: set for normal operations

 

operations or operations over an ATM network.

ATM: set for operations over an ATM network

 

 

 

Details>Input>Status>RF: allows you to query the receive signal Eb/N0 level, the carrier offset, and the current lock status of the demodulator, decoder, and transport stream; this menu only applies to the currently active RF input.

Eb/N0

Query-only; displays the Eb/N0 of the RF receive signal

Displays the value in dB; value is ± 2 dB

 

Note: Eb/N0 is only available when

Eb/No values above 16 dB are not significant.

 

Details>Input>Config>Select>Input is set to RF.

 

 

 

 

Offset

Query-only; displays the RF offset.

Frequency in MHz

 

The Offset measures the difference, in MHz, between the actual

 

 

carrier frequency received by the TDR6 and the carrier

 

 

frequency the TDR6 calculates by subtracting the LO parameter

 

 

from the RF parameter. For optimum performance, the Offset

 

 

parameter should be as close to zero as possible.

 

 

For more information regarding the offset, refer to the chapters

 

 

on configuration and troubleshooting. Also refer to the appendix

 

 

on the QPSK demodulator.

 

 

Note: Offset is only available when

 

 

Details>Input>Config>Select>Input is set to RF.

 

 

 

 

Demod

Query-only; displays the lock status of the demodulator

Locked, Unlocked

 

Note: Demod is only available when

 

 

Details>Input>Config>Select>Input is set to RF.

 

 

 

 

Decoder

Query-only; displays the lock status of the decoder

Locked, Unlocked

 

Note: Decoder is only available when

 

 

Details>Input>Config>Select>Input is set to RF.

 

 

 

 

Transport

Query-only; displays the lock status of the transport stream

Locked, Unlocked

 

 

 

Rate

Query-only; displays the output rate for the QPSK demodulator

value in bps
