How installers help to create their own measurement equipment

Working closely with industry professionals is the key to create the equipment that truly solves the problems that a communications installer, an operator or an antenna installer face in their daily work. In PROMAX we are motivated to attend meetings in installers' associations, fairs and congresses where we can talk on a like-for-like basis with communications installers. They raise questions that in many cases become new functions for the TV spectrum analyzers.

Investments in CATV/FTTH test equipment may shrink down!

The new DOCSIS 3.0 hybrid Fibre-Coaxial networks analyzer CABLE RANGER from PROMAX provides all the required measurements to install and carry the network maintenance of those hybrid networks using fiber optics and coaxial cables at the physical layer. It includes a web browser, preventing the technician from carrying an additional laptop.

FCC spectrum channel repack proof of performance

The FCC’s spectrum reallocation plans will be one of the hot topics at the upcoming NAB show in April. During the transition period stations will also need to conduct performance tests to verify that their new operations run according to FCC requirements. RANGERNeo 2 ATSC is a cost effective solution that helps doing so.

How to deploy WiFi networks and solve WiFi problems

There is a large variety of “WiFi analyzer” applications available for mobile phones but they are not real WiFi analyzers because they do not have a real spectrum analyzer to cover the physical layer and in second term because they see the WiFi environment through the ‘eyes’ of the mobile device WiFi radio transceiver. In order to develop a wireless network you need a true spectrum analyser to, for example, discover non WiFi interference.

RANGER Neo: A new breed of TV spectrum analyzers

The RANGERNeo is a new breed of multifunction TV, Satellite and WIFI analyser, intended to help installers not only to make their classic installation work easier but also to deal with the many challenges brought about by the wireless world and the new video delivery platforms.

Discovering the hidden metadata in the television signal with TS Analyser, the free tool from PROMAX

TS Analyser can carry out a depth analysis of the information of any DVB, ISDB-T/ARIB and ATSC digital television broadcast Transport Stream. It benefits from the algorithms of Transport Stream analysis used by the field strength meters RANGER Neo and HD RANGER.

Create your own 3D signal coverage map with your PROMAX field strength meter

It is easy to represent over a 3D map the measurements of a signal coverage analysis taken using a PROMAX HD RANGER analyser. With the free app KML Generator you can draw several graphs with different options and styles.

What is shoulder attenuation and how to measure it

Due mainly to nonlinearities in the power amplifiers the output RF signal contains unwanted band limit and out of band components, the shape of which has given rise to the term “shoulder”, that tend to compromise the compliance with the mask limits. Measuring shoulder is easier using PROMAX analysers.

Automatic shoulder attenuation measurement available for HD RANGER 2 TV Analyser

The shoulder attenuation measurement is one of the required measurements at the 8 VSB / ATSC broadcast system air interface. The HD RANGER 2 ATSC is now able to perform this measurement automatically and display it along with other relevant data such as pilot carrier amplitude, MER, VBER, etc.

HD RANGER 3 field Strength Meter and TV Analyser: The first with HEVC worldwide

Digital terrestrial television is at the dawn of a new transformation with the adoption of H.265 HEVC for the DVB-T2 HD digital terrestrial television. HD RANGER 3 is the first Field Strength meter and TV Analyser of its kind to offer HEVC signal demodulation compatible with this new broadcast signals now on air.
