Analog RF Proof of Performance Testing …

1 ENGINEERING FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS 244 West Pioneer Road BOX 1003 Fond du Lac, WI 54936-1003 FAX: EMAIL: Analog RF Proof of Performance Testing MethodologySystem Description:Dickey Rural Networks CATV network is a fiber to the home (FTTH) system with an , headend receives all video signals andprocessesthem for frequency altering equipmentdownstream from total system bandwidth FCCrules;plant Testing will be performedon theanalog bandwidth using 12analog test channels evenly spread acrossthe widest possiblefrequency customers are supplied with set tops by the Performance ofthese units is a matter of the manufacturer s specifications.

2 All are well known units in commonusage throughout the industry(Motorola/Arris, Scientific Atlanta/Cisco).TestingEquipment& Procedures:These system Performance measurements were made by using the following test instruments:Tektronix 2715 spectrum analyzer,Tektronix TSG-120 test signal generator,JDSU SDA-4040D,CLI-1750, & CLI-1450signal level meters, 100 Ft. length of RG-6 coaxial cable standard to Measurement Recommended Practices for Cable Systemsare followed for all tests were performed at locationsmeeting withFCCrules,and with the propernumber of specified channels, based on system hardware was left in the normal operating condition, supplyingthe normalprogramming content for all teststhat did not require alteration for Order andC/N tests were performed during active video modulation, using vertical interface removed from the modulator to enableComposite Triple Beat Testing .
