Option 2.1 Measurements
Overview. Option M2.1 adds FM analog signal monitoring capabilities to the M2.0 including peak-type measurements of the injection level for 19kHz pilot, 38kHz, 57kHz, 67kHz and 92 kHz sub-carriers using the Carrier Modulation LED display with a 0.2% resolution between 4.4% and 10.4%. A rear panel MPX Output for external sub-carrier decoding is also included. Option 2.1 also adds a relative indication of the incidental AM noise component of the FM carrier using the top Demodulation Level LED display. During the AM noise and Sub-Pilot measurements, all other M2.0 functions are disabled.
AM Noise Level. A relative measurement of the incidental AM noise component of the FM carrier can be made by first tuning to the FM station of interest and then selecting AMN mode by pressing the Demodulation Level Select switch until the blue AMN LED illuminates. The top Demodulation Level LED meter will indicate the relative level of the incidental AM noise component present in the FM carrier. The 0dB indication is referenced to –50dB.
Pilot and SCA Injection Level. The injection level for 19kHz pilot, 38kHz suppressed stereo subcarrier, 57kHz SCA, 67kHz SCA and 92kHz SCA of an analog FM signal can be accurately measured using the Carrier Modulation LED display by first tuning to the FM station of interest and then selecting the Sub-Pilot mode by pressing the Carrier Modulation Select switch until the blue Sub-Pilot LED illuminates. The received RF signal level of the analog FM signal must be at least 65dBf for the Sub-Pilot mode to be active. The VFD will now indicate the 19kHz pilot or subcarrier frequency to be measured as illustrated in the following sample:
1 9 k H z P i l o t C a r r i e r t o E x i t
A momentary push of the SELECT switch located between the DN and UP switches will start the measurement, with the resulting level indicated on Carrier Modulation LED display. The pilot-subcarrier levels are indicated on the top meter legend. The FM stereo pilot level is typically set to 9% injection.
M2 User Manual
11
Page 12
During the 19 kHz pilot level measurement the VFD will indicate:
1 9 k H z P i l o t D a t a t o E x i t
As indicated on the second line of the VFD, a momentary push of the DATA – DISPLAY switch at this point ends the pilot-subcarrier level measurement for the 19kHz pilot. The VFD now displays:
1 9 k H z P i l o t C a r r i e r t o E x i t
From this point, the UP and DN switches can be used to select another subcarrier frequency to be measured or the Carrier Modulation Select switch can be used to exit the Sub-Pilot injection level measurement mode.
If the UP and DN switches are used to select another subcarrier frequency to be measured, in this case the 57kHz SCA, the process is identical to that described above. In this example, the VFD now indicates the 57 kHz subcarrier frequency is to be measured:
5 7 k H z S C A C a r r i e r t o E x i t
A momentary push of the SELECT switch located between the DN and UP switches will start the measurement, with the resulting level indicated on Carrier Modulation LED display. The 57kHz subcarrier level is indicated on the top meter legend. During the 57kHz pilot level measurement the VFD will indicate:
5 7 k H z P i l o t D a t a t o E x i t
As indicated on the second line of the VFD, a momentary push of the DATA – DISPLAY switch at this point ends the pilot-subcarrier level measurement for the 57kHz pilot. The VFD now displays:
5 7 k H z P i l o t C a r r i e r t o E x i t
From this point, the UP and DN switches can be used to select the next subcarrier frequency to be measured or the Carrier Modulation Select switch can be used to exit the Sub-Pilot injection level measurement mode.
