DSAM Carrier to noise Measurements

Out of band method
Video carrier is measured at 280 kHz resolution
noise measurement is usually made in the guard band at 30khz resolution
(lower side)
Bandwidth corrections are made for 4 MHz
In band method
Measurements are made on the Video carrier and (quiet lines) at 280 KHz
resolution.
Finds a quiet line after the vertical interval is detected at 2.5 MHz above the
video carrier ( typical)
Establishes timing for the measurement.
Several measurements are made on (quiet lines) on odd or even fields.
Bandwidth correction are made for 4 MHz
Must have tuner board 6
22
Out of band Carrier to Noise Measurement (NCTA)

Out of Band Carrier to noise
measurement is done by
measuring the video carrier at
280 KHz Resolution.
Then measuring the guard band
on the lower side at 1.14 below
the video. This is done at 30 KHz.
Then Calculation is done for 4
MHz bandwidth.
Out of
Band
1.14 MHz below carrier
In-Band

Noise
Why two different measurements for carrier to noise?

Dual audio channels
could make the
appearance of higher
noise floor in the guard
band and causing the
Carrier to Noise
measurement to be
inaccurate when
making a out of band
measurement.
A marginal Video
modulator with a wider
vestigial side band
could also give
inaccurate
measurements.

Digital Analysis Tools

Digital Quality Index (DQI)
Technician Friendly Real-Time Troubleshooting Tool
Catches Impairments Missed by BER and Errored Seconds
Measurements
Real Time and does not require settling time
Real-Time measurement that catches impairments masked by QAM receiver
correction schemes or deep interleaving burst protection
Tracks down hard to catch Intermittent Problems better than Errored

Seconds
Samples 98% of the digital streams at sampling rate of 40 microseconds
allowing better capture of intermittent problems
3 minutes (180 seconds) of historical data
Eliminates the need to interpret scientific notation (i.e. 1 E-9, 1E-7)

Range of 0 to 10
10 = Great Quality & 0 = Poor Quality
32
Advantages of DQI over BER
More measurable data points than BER

Responds faster to changing conditions
Reports impairments before bit errors actually
occur
Easier to understand than BER

extra margin versus traditional

Momentary events are easily seen in the

historical graph
DQI Applications:
1. High Definition Video Intermittently Impacted
Overview
BER was not catching
errors
DQI instantly captured
issues
98% of the
demodulated stream
was sampled
Time history provided

Helped isolate the issue to

path

2. Digital Video Tiling, Phone and HSD Disruptions
Overview
QAM256 digital channels
Intermittent Issues causing Tiling,
Phone and HSD disruptions on
digital video channels
Issues could not be seen with
traditional QAM analyzers
Issue was not seen by BER
measurements
Occasional MPEG Synch Loss
verified the problem
DQI easily displayed the
sporadic nature of the issue
Issue was tracked to an
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Circuit in an amplifier with a
capacitor not charging
correctly. DQI shows a
charging pattern.

QAM Sensitivity Configuration Setting
41
Provides a new High and Normal

sensitivity setting which shows errors that
can occur on less capable customer
premise equipment (CPE)
Helps technicians track CPE reported

MER/BER issues in the network.
Normal setting allows DSAM to perform

as it has up to now.
High sensitivity setting turns off various

digital processing technologies that
correct various impairments found on the
network.
Configuration setting is global across all

measurement modes that display MER
and/or BER including DOCSIS mode.
AGC Stress Indicator

Provides notification of AGC problems on digital
channels revealing that there are rapidly varying AGC
levels which can
Indicates CPE problems such as tiling, blocking,
freezing, slow cable modem throughput and/or packet
loss. Viewable in the Digital Level mode,
Constellation Mode and DOCSIS Mode.
If AGC Stress occurs during an autotest, the indicator
will be present in the Overall results section.
Intermodulation Limit (dB Delta)

Compares carrier level values from the highest to the
lowest, analog and digital, to determine maximum
differential in the network.
Provides an early indication of potential
intermodulation distortion caused by largely different
carrier levels overdriving a CPEs tuner.
May result in tiling, blocking or packet loss to the
CPE. Root causes may be excessive tilt and/or cable
loss or excessive power on a given channel. This
calculation is integrated into the Video Autotest and
Home Certification results display.
42
NCTA
dB Delta Limit Intermodulation

a) Tilt in the network
b) Max Power difference between

analog and digital channels
c) Power difference between analog
and digital channels
43
Practice is to have no tilt or some positive to compensate for the cable loss from the tap to the
homes (a. above)
Above shows about 15 dB of negative tilt due to coaxial cable of having more loss with higher
frequency.
Digital signal recommended to be 5~6 dB down for 256-QAM and 9~10 dB down for 64-QAM
compared to analog (b. above)
Maximum power difference between analog and digital channels (c. above)
dB delta issue originates from this large power difference causing intermodulation in the tuner of
the receiver, which will cause the degradation on MER and/or BER. Excessive total power is
another contributor to overdriving the receiver.

Opportunity
Dont be put off
All these software options are free for your demo units (FVQ,
Smart ID, WiFi, FO power meter) and demo dongles at a highly
discounted rate
Options can be installed anywhere (no need to return to JDSU
service)
Competition has nothing like this
Huge sales potential!

There are thousands of DSAM out in the hands of techs and
