Downstream Spectrum
The Downstream Spectrum measurement mode (additional purchase
required, depending on the model type) enables you to view the entire
CATV downstream spectrum frequency range (4 MHz to 1 GHz) in 50
MHz span, and can zoom to a 10 MHz span. The frequency span is
determined by the center frequency you select. Within each frequency
span, the DSAM forms and continually updates a graph with 201
frequency points.
Downstream Spectrum provides a view over six (6) vertical subdivi-
sions that contain a dynamic range of 60 dB and the ability to view the
entire CATV downstream spectrum frequency range in 10 or 50 MHz
NOTE
For best reference setting results you may need to press the Auto
Reference button up to three times.
