Whether you just need to do a few measurements on your 8VSB transmitter, or want extensive functions and features such as off-air reception, a demodulated MPEG2 output, or the measurement of the shoulder attenuation, the R&S EFA53 is the right unit for you. It can be extended for analog NTSC/BTSC or can work as your automatic monitoring system, EFA-NET, and even show you the echo pattern while under full power.

The new portable R&S® FSH3-TV combines the functions and features of a complete RF spectrum analyzer up to 3 GHz, with those of a TV test receiver in a single measurement instrument, and is ideal for installation, maintenance or repair work, on TV cable networks or transmitters. It comes equipped with a TV demodulator, a preamplifier and a tracking generator, and permits measurements of analog and digital TV signals, including NTSC, 8VSB and US-Cable QAM (J.83/B). A demodulated CCVS (analog TV) or as a TS-ASI (digital TV) output is provided. For use in cable networks or as a TV test receiver, a Preselector with a 75 Ohm input is available, which improves the usable dynamic range.
