on Aug 31, 2009Hello all,
Is there a way to test Single Frequency Networks (SFN) with the Agilent N6153A DVB-T/H Measurement Application?
If so, what measurements can be carried out?
Thanks and best regards,
Giuseppe

N6153A DVB-T/H does not have the capability to test the Single Frequency Network functionality and it is currently not planned.
For those that do not know what Single Frequency Network (SFN) implies, this is where two or more transmitters in a geographic area carry the same data and operate on the same frequency. The signals from each transmitter in the SFN needs to be accurately time-aligned, which is done by sync information in the stream and timing at each transmitter referenced to the Global Positioning System. The benefit is that coverage holes or dead spots due to geographic features are eliminated because of careful placement of the multiple transmitters.
