Fading simulator option for R&S®SFE broadcast tester

05/07/2010

Rohde & Schwarz offers a complete range of broadcast test transmitters. With the new R&S®SFE-K30 fading simulator option, the R&S®SFE broadcast tester can now simulate realistic channel conditions.

The R&S®SFE-K30 fading simulator of the R&S®SFE broadcast tester features 12 paths organized in two groups of six paths each. The delay, loss and fading profile for each path can be set individually, and an additional delay can be introduced between group 1 and group 2. The fading simulator option can be operated conveniently via the R&S®SFE broadcast tester’s front panel. All parameters can also be set via remote control.

While the R&S®SFE fading simulator is ideal for testing receivers in line with test standards, for SFN simulation (two transmitters, pre-echo) and for testing echo cancellation of transposers, the R&S®SFU fading simulator is best for developing receiver chips, tuners and mobile receivers, for acting as a fully integrated broadcast test system and for antenna diversity simulation.

The Rohde & Schwarz solution offers the following benefits:

• Comprehensive set of features
• High precision at a competitive price
• Large delay range for SFN simulation
• Easy installation

The fading simulator itself is a software option, but it requires an FPGA extension board (R&S®SFE-B15).
