1.7. Design and Operation Overview

1.7.1. Principle of Operation

CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer is a receiver of DVB-C and DVB-T signals with demodulation to the MPEG-2 transport stream and its further analysis. The input tuner is a triple superheterodyne receiver with auto or manual frequency tuning. Modulation error ratio MER is measured in the process of QAM signal demodulation based on vector analysis. Bit error rate BER in digital stream is determined by means of analyzing the Reed-Solomon and (or) Viterbi decoder operation. Channel power is measured using analog-to-digital converter after signal peak detection at output of logarithmic detector of the third IF amplifier.

Page 9

Analog channel audio broadcasting monitoring performs by measuring demodulated sound signal with an analog-to-digital converter

The Analyzer is continuously measuring the channel parameters in the selected channel plan and according to the selected channel template. The results of digital DVB-C/ DVB-T channel measurement are values of actual channel power level, MER, BER before and after the ReedSolomon/Viterbi decoder. And the results of analog channel measurement are the values of signal level, video to audio ratio and video carrier to noise ratio within the video channel bandwidth. The MPEG transport stream is checked for compliance with ETSI TR101290 standard requirements (priority 1 and 2).

The measured parameters are stored in the non-volatile memory of the Analyzer together with the time and date of measurement for each channel. The CIU-003 Analyzer can store up to 80 measurement cycles (one cycle includes measurement of all channels in the channel plan). After the saved measurement results are transferred to a remote PC with installed ViewRSA software, the corresponding memory cells become available for saving the next measurement results. Thus all the measurement results can be stored in the ViewRSA database for any period of time.

After passing the Low-Pass Filter (LPF), the input signal, if necessary, is strengthened by the Wide-Band Amplifier (WBA) or reduced by the Attenuator (A). Then it is transformed by the doubleconversion TV Tuner (T) into the second 39 MHz IF signal in the level measurement mode or into the second 36.125 MHz IF signal in the DBV-C/DVB-T signal demodulation mode.

For hardware modification 2.14.2 or higher

Page 10

The second IF signal is converted in the Mixer (M) by means of the 28.3 MHz Local Oscillator (LO) into the third IF signal, and further filtered by 10.7 MHz filter (BPF3), which also determines the receiver bandwidth.

Logarithmic Gain Amplifier Limiter (LGAL) performs logarithmation and signal detection.

Peak Detector (PD) enables the measurement of the video carrier level by means of Analogueto-Digital Converter (ADC). The digital code of the input signal peak level logarithm is defined as real value and corrected in accordance with the calibration matrix of the Control Unit (CU) microcontroller.

From the LGAL limiter output signal is forwarding to the frequency detector with the built in analog-to-digital converter, and as a result, demodulated and digitalized signal is processed with the control unit. This allows to perform analog channel audio brouadcasting monitoring

In digital DVB-C/DVB-T signal demodulation mode the second IF signal is filtered by the Bandpass Filter (BPF2) and supplied to the DVB-C/DVB-T Demodulator (DD), which performs demodulation and measurement of signal parameters. The measured results are processed by the Control Unit.

The Control Unit (CU) uses the Control Interfaces (CI) to support the Analyzer operation with ViewRSA software and receive the commands entered by the user during the Analyzer configuration via COM port.

The nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) stores factory calibration coefficients, channel template, channel plan, limit plan, measurement logs, and service information.

The Mains Adapter (MA) forms the required voltages from an external power source.

1.7.3. Component Arrangement

CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer is made in 19’’/1U steel shockproof sectional housing that includes printed and three-dimensional wiring. The Analyzer dimensions are 483x163x44 mm.

The front panel of the Analyzer (see Figure 1.1) has the POWER indicator (index 1) and holes for mounting the Analyzer on the rack (index 2). The back panel of the Analyzer (see Figure 1.2) contains a socket for mains supply (index 1), fuse-holder (index 2), mains switch (index 3),

additional grounding connector

(index 4), ETHERNET RJ-45 connector for the Analyzer connection to LAN (index 5), RS-232 DB-9 connector for setting and updating the Analyzer firmware from external PC (index 6), label with the device serial number and type (index 7), and the RF IN input 75 Ohm F-male connector (index 8).

2. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

3.6. Updating Firmware

You can update the firmware of CIU-003 TV Signal Analyzer without use of any additional

equipment. We go on with development of the devices and keep on working out new firmware versions that provide new features. These new firmware versions are available for free download on our website

www.planar.chel.ru in the section that describes CIU-003 Analyzer. Each version of

the firmware has its unique identification number, e.g. 14.0.0.3. You can see the current device firmware version in configuration terminal window (see Section 3.3.5), by using ViewRSA and also in the SoftVersion node if you operate the Analyzer via SNMP protocol (see Appendix).

You should proceed as follows to update your firmware:

a) connect your Analyzer to a free COM port of the PC by using a standard cable;

b) create a new folder on your PC for new firmware, e.g. CIU003_Update. Copy CIU002_SoftLoader installer-program into this folder from our website. CIU002_SoftLoader requires WindowsXP or Windows Vista operating system. It provides communication with the Analyzer and downloads new firmware onto it;

c) download new firmware into CIU003_Update folder from our website (file name contains the number of program version with .bsk extension, e.g. 14_0_0_3.bsk) and copy the file describing changes to the firmware (file with .txt extension);

d) start CIU002_SoftLoader on your PC (see Figure 3.19). Select COM port of PC, which connects it to your CIU-003;

e) select the file with new version of CIU-003 firmware by clicking button for file opening (index 1 in Figure 3.19). Find the required file in the standard file selection dialog and click ОК;

f) click Start and follow the instructions of the program. First, a warning notice will appear advising you to power off your CIU-003 Analyzer and check the connection of the cable to the PC COM port. Then another data window will appear; follow its instructions.

Figure 3.19

If your CIU-003 functions properly, COM-port cable is connected correctly, appropriate COM port is selected, and the firmware to be downloaded is compatible with the Analyzer, the process of downloading will start automatically. When the downloading is over, a pop-up window will announce that the task has been successfully completed. The Analyzer will reboot and turn on in the similar mode as if first time switched on.

CAUTION Do not interrupt the loading process. This can lead to malfunction of

the Analyzer. But, if this does occur, repeat the process of program update.

4. MAINTENANCE

TestPointName, ChIndex, ChName, ChFreq, ChType, Level_severite, VAR_severity, CNR_severity, MER_severity, preBER_severity, postBER_severity

Description: Sent if a channel failed the limit test by one or several test criteria. The trap

contains the following information: TestPointName – name of the monitored node of the distribution network ChIndex – number of the channel with error in the channel plan ChName – name of the channel with error ChFreq – frequency of the channel with error ChType – type of the channel with error Level_severity – data about the channel level error VAR_severity – data about the video/audio ratio error CNR_severity – data about the signal/noise ratio error MER_severity – data about the MER error preBER_severity – data about the preBER error postBER_severity – data about the postBER error MPEG_severity – data about the MPEG error sound_severity – data about analog channel audio broadcasting disappearing

Example: Trap tChannelSeverity (low value of signal/noise ratio):

TestPointName  main headend ChIndex  2 ChName  MTV ChFreq  191250 ChType  0 Level_severity  VAR_severity  CNR_severity  25.1 (<43) dB MER_severity  preBER_severity  postBER_severity  mpeg_severity  sound_severity 

tChannelSeverity trap (value of signal/noise ratio returns to normal): The same nodes values, except for the CNR_severity node: CNR_severity  Ok

TestPointName, ChIndex1, ChName1, ChFreq1, ChType1, ChIndex2, ChName2, ChFreq2, ChType2, SeverityType, SeverityValue

Description: Sent if a pair of channels failed the limit test by one of the test criteria. The trap

contains the following data:

TestPointName – name of the monitored node of the distribution network ChIndex1 – number of the first channel with error in the channel plan ChName1 – name of the first channel with error ChFreq1 – frequency of the first channel with error ChType1 – type of the first channel with error ChIndex2 – number of the second channel with error in the channel plan

ChName2 – name of the second channel with error ChFreq2 – frequency of the second channel with error ChType2 – type of the second channel with error SeverityType – type of error. Can have one of the following values:

dL(40-300MHz) – high ripple of channels within 40 to 300 MHz frequency range; dL(40-600MHz) – high ripple of channels within 40 to 600 MHz frequency range; dL(40-1000MHz) - high ripple of channels within 40 to 1000 MHz frequency range; dL(adjacent) – high ripple of adjacent channels; dL(An/Dg) – high ripple between analog and digital channels with minimum/maximum level in the network; dL(dF=100MHz) – high ripple of channel levels in any 100 MHz bandwidth in the network;

SeverityValue – numerical value of the error.

Example:

Trap tFlatnessSeverity (adjacent channels ripple appeared): TestPointName  main headend ChIndex1  2 ChName1  MTV ChFreq1  191250 ChType1  0 ChIndex2  3 ChName2  RTR ChFreq2  199250 ChType2  0 SeverityType  dL(adjacent) SeverityValue  6.3 (>5)
