Cable system (LNB cable, LNB, DiSEqC switches, positioners, motors, other commutation
items) general test
You can check cable quality by spectrum analyzer. Low quality cable system causes signal
fade out and distortion: higher frequency results more steep fade out. This leads to poor
quality input signal. You can see the typical poor quality signal spectrum on the last picture
(see below): spectrum fades out and sometimes signal gaps (zero level) can occur on
some frequencies. On the contrary: signal level is more or less equal at all the frequencies if
cable system is good or signal amplifier installed. You can compare pictures below.
