PRBS/
TR 290
Replace the input to the constellation mapper with a PRBS sequence
of length 2
as specified in document ETSI TR 101 290.
The following two parameters select the carrier interval to blank, in order to
make measurements of intermodulation noise and/or noise within the channel.
Start Carrier
Selects the initial index (from 0 to 1704 in 2K, 0 to 6816 in 8k, 0 to 3408 in 4K)
of the first carrier to blank within the COFDM ensemble.
Stop Carrier
Selects the final index (from 0 to 1704 in 2k, 0 to 6816 in 8k, 0 to 3408 in 4K) of
the last carrier to blank within the COFDM ensemble.
These following two parameters set the amount of errors we inject into the
modulator chain:
CBER Value
Channel Bit-Error Ratio to inject at the input of the mapper to constellation
points. This yields a non-zero BER before the Viterbi decoder (values from 7.6E-6 to
1.2E-1).
VBER Value
Viterbi BER to inject at the input to the convolutional encoder so that a non-zero
BER is obtained at the output of the Viterbi decoder (values from 3.7E-9 to 6.2E-2).
4.11 CONFIGURATION functions
Under this menu entry there is a collection of functions related to the
configuration and setup of the whole instrument.
Save to Memory
The MO-180 has a number of configuration memories that allow to store the
modulator parameters as well as the RF frequency and level.
To store the current configuration, turn the encoder to select the desired
memory number (from 0 to 10). Press the encoder key to confirm the storing action.
Press the MENU key to cancel the action.
