With the same durability and measurement accuracy as its proven SAM predecessor, the SDA-4040D is designed with the speed, spectrum, and advanced QAM analysis to test both traditional analog video and the latest digital formats. The versatile combination of standard features and available options enables the meter to be customized, or upgraded to the SDA-5000, to meet virtually any system requirements. Analog testing – Nonintrusive Sweepless Sweep – RF level, fast scan, tilt – In-service carrier-to-noise, hum, depth of modulation – Fast spectrum display with CTB/CSO – Automatic/24-hour testing (FCC and CENELEC compliant) QAM ingress feature shows noise/ingress under an active carrier Return path testing – PathTrak Field View option pinpoints return path noise – Zero-Span Spectrum mode – DOCSIS/DAVIC-compatible cable modem analysis Advanced digital testing – digiCheck average power – QAM View digital analysis option with modulation error ratio (MER), pre/post FEC BER, constellation, and exclusive noise/ingress under the carrier measurement Preparing the network for digital services Single button, in-service C/N measurements on TDMA return path cable modem signals (DOCSIS, EuroDOCSIS, EuroModem) For measurement and analysis of digital TV and forward modem signals, the new QAM View option provides a full complement of digital quality measurements. Included is a 64/256 QAM constellation display with zoom, average digital power level, bit error rate (BER), 21 to 35 dB modulation error ratio (MER) and noise margin “cliff effect” parameter. An equalizer display shows equalizer stress and distance to fault. In addition, an exclusive QAM Ingress Noise mode enables technicians to see ingress/noise under an active digital carrier. This tool is invaluable for detecting forward path ingress otherwise hidden by conventional spectrum views. Zero span/time domain expert mode, showing the TDMA bursty return path cable modem power ramp of 3.5 ms SDA-4040D STEALTH DIGITAL ANALYZER 3 In-service cable modem analyzer For bursty digital signals such as TDMA technologies used on cable modems for reverse services, the SDA-4040D offers two choices. The first is a one-button cable modem analyzer and the second uses advanced zero span capabilities to make the measurement. The one-button cable modem analyzer quickly shows carrier-tonoise measurements, while the zero span option utilizes a time domain display to enable power measurements while the modem is in service. Both methods are compatible with global cable modem standards. Making accurate digital average power measurements is addressed with the digiCheck measurement function. The digiCheck feature is compatible with most non-bursty digital modulations in use today (that is, 16, 32, 64, and 256 QAM, QPR, QPSK, VSB, and CAP16). Analog and digital signal limits Reverse digital modem signal PathTrak Field View option compares headend node spectrum with field testpoint spectrum Analog signal threshold limits have always been a technician’s favorite feature of JDSU instruments. Automatic limit checks provide a quick go/no-go status for audio and video levels. The SDA Series extends this capability with a dedicated digital limit set that can be applied exclusively to the forward digital carriers defined in a channel plan. By assigning separate analog and digital limits, test time is reduced, since no calculation is necessary to determine if analog and digital level relationships are within system specifications. Analog and digital limit capabilities are available in both the Scan and Autotest modes. Tilt measurement Tilt is the easiest and most efficient tool for balancing amplifiers. For cable plants requiring multiple tilt measurements, such as comparing today’s tilt measurement with a historical record, and then making an additional measurement for a new wider channel plan, the technician simply uses markers to indicate the tilt channels that define the new limits. Intermodulation distortion Sweepless Sweep display Intermodulation distortion (CSO/CTB) can be automatically measured using the CTB/CSO mode from the spectrum analyzer. CTB/CSO distortions produced by intermodulation of analog TV carriers can degrade the signal quality of QAM modulated signals used by digital video and cable modems. Scan measurement Scan mode provides a quick graphical view of the entire channel plan with bars representing the video level for each channel. Both video and audio may be displayed. Carrier-to-noise measurement: in-service Carrier-to-noise measurement (on non-scrambled channels) is just as easy, and there is no need to remove modulation from the video carrier. No tunable preselector filter is needed. Graphical reverse testpoint compensation SDA-4040D STEALTH DIGITAL ANALYZER 4 Hum measurement: in-service Measuring hum on a channel (non-scrambled) is as simple as pressing the “HUM” key and since the instrument is battery powered, the measurement is independent of ground loops, therefore isolated from the line (mains). Hum reveals itself as either single (60 Hz) or double (120 Hz) horizontal bars across the video screen. The level of either can be measured. Modulation measurement The Navigator user interface, common on all JDSU SDA meters Includes NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats. Demodulation of the audio is done for both AM and FM. FM is used to hear audio distortion on the FM radio channels or the sound of the TV program. AM is used to recognize short-wave interference signals in the reverse band. Extensive automated test capability Automated tests can be scheduled to perform either 24-hour FCC compliance tests, or initiated immediately to log performance at individual nodes, amplifiers or other testpoints. A wide range of tests can be performed automatically, including signal levels, C/N, hum and depth of modulation. The operator designates which tests to perform on which channels. Because these tests are nonintrusive, it is easy to test all parameters on all channels at any time. The single-channel level display shows both video and audio levels (either single or dual sound/NICAM) and the difference between the two After a test is performed, the results can be displayed on the SDA screen. A pass/fail indication can be set on a variety of limits for FCC/CENELEC or other government standards, or to system preferences. Data taken during any automated test, or sequence of automated tests, can be viewed immediately with a pass/fail indication for each of the limits. Specific stored measurement results may be viewed on demand. Automated test results can be printed directly to a serial printer or uploaded to a PC using StealthWare to store and include in custom reports. Data analysis with StealthWare Digital channel average power measurements can be made using the digiCheck™ feature Any stored SDA measurement information can be uploaded to a PC using StealthWare, a Microsoft® Windows®-based data management package. Stored sweep, scan, or spectrum screens can be viewed on the PC and analyzed with marker movement and readout information in just the same way as on the actual instrument. A sweep graph overlay function enables comparison of multiple RF response variations over time. StealthWare also allows the operator to build channel plans and edit site locations, which can be downloaded to multiple SDA instruments. Additionally, channel plans can be uploaded to the PC, modified in StealthWare, and then downloaded back to the SDA instrument. Upgrading the SDA-4040D to the SDA-5000 Tilt mode performs automatic tilt calculations between any two of nine designated carriers The JDSU upgrade program is designed to protect customers’ investment in test equipment. As system requirements change, the SDA-4040D can be upgraded to the SDA-5000 for forward and reverse sweep capabilities at any of JDSU worldwide service centers, and model SAM-4040D owners can upgrade to the SDA-4040D with an in-the-field firmware change only. SDA-4040D STEALTH DIGITAL ANALYZER 5 JDSU Basic Service packages To ensure the highest levels of support for SDA purchasers, JDSU offers the Basic Service for instrument package.
