TV Signal Test Equipment

TV Signal Test Equipment thumbnail
TV signal test equipment is used to evaluate the quality of TV signals.

TV signal test equipment measure how well a TV receives a signal from a transmission station and how well it responds to and processes that signal. Test equipment generally falls in one of the following categories: TV test transmitter, video signal analyzer and a video measurement test set.

  1. TV Test Transmitter

    • A TV test transmitter generates a test transmission that simulates an actual transmission signal. Technicians apply the test signal to TV circuits for testing. Signal specification options associated with this type of equipment includes a frequency range of 0.3 MHz to 3.3 GHz and signal strength ranging from -99.9 dBm to +13 dBm.

    Video Signal Analyzer

    • Once the TV test transmitter generates a signal, technicians use a video signal analyzer to analyze how the TV responds to the signal. This type of equipment can analyze signals from standard TVs, HDTVs as well as PC video cards.

    Video Measurement Set

    • The video measurement set provides additional measurement and analytical tools to support the video signal analyzer. Additional tools include a digital waveform monitor, digital vectorscope and noise measurement set.
