This chapter provides task-based instructions for installing the DTS Satellite Interface. Topics discussed in this chapter are as follows:
– “Introduction” on page 4– “Installing the DTS Satellite Interface” on page 4


Chapter 2 DTS Satellite Interface InstallationIntroduction

IntroductionThe DTS analyzers provides a number of resource applications. All DTS analyzers resource applications that are enabled on the hosted Interfaces must have the correct version of software installed on your computer. If the correct version of software is not loaded or available on your computer, then the application can not be used until the correct version is loaded. Adding the correct client software (SW) versions for the applications is a simple process that can be easily accomplished by the user with no extra materials.

Installing the DTS Satellite InterfaceThe PSK support for the DTS application is achieved in two parts. The first part is Hardware the second part is through software. In order to support the PSK source a new interface card / PIM (Plug-in Module) was designed. The PSK interface card or PIM must be installed in to the DTS chassis to take advantage of monitoring the PSK source.

To enable the new features in the DTS application, which the PSK Interface offers, the current software version had to be updated. The following section will guide the user through the Hardware and Soft-ware installation for the DTS-200 and DTS-300/330 platforms.

Installing the DTS-200 Hardware

For the implementation of the PSK interface there must be a PSK PIM (Plug-in Module) inserted in to the DTS-200 Chassis.

– DCII QPSK– DCII OQPSK

Code Rate The code rates for each modulation format are listed as follows:

– Turbo QPSK, Rate 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8– Turbo 8PSK, Rate 2/3, 3/4_2.05, 3/4_2.10, 2.10, 5/6, 8/9– DVB QPSK, Rates of 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8– DCII QPSK, Rates of 5/11, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6 and 7/8– DCII OQPSK, Rates of 5/11, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6 and 7/8

DVB and DCII code rates can be automatically determined by the receiver whereas Turbo formats require manual selection of the code rate. These code rates can be selected from a pull down menu. Figure 10 illustrates an DCII QPSK signal.

LNB Control area The “LNB Control” area (Figure 11) allows you to turn the LNB power On or Off. It also allows you to select the band and polarity.

Power The LNB control allows the operator to turn the LNB power On or Off. If the receiver is being used to monitor a test point that does not require control voltages and tones the LNB power should be turned off. This is especially true if a resistive load such as an attenuator is put in line between the L-band input to the PSK receiver and the test point.

Band High band/Low Band control using 13/18V selection.

Polarity Vertical/Horizontal selection control using 22kHz on/off selection.

Status area The status area of the PSK interface display (Figure 12 on page 19) provides some common modulation and coding data among all PSK modulations. These include power level (Current, Max, Min, Mean), SNR (Current, Max, Min, Mean), Frequency Get (current and error offset), Symbol Rate (current and error offset), Code Rate, Spectral Inversion, LNB power indicator, and a reset counter button.

NOTEThe LNB is available only for an L-Band input, these settings do not apply to the IF (70 MHz) input.

Figure 11 LNB Control area



Power Level (dBm) The Power Level (Current, Maximum, Minimum, Mean) are updated approximately once per second.

Measurement range:

– -25 to -65 dBm for L-Band– 0 to -40 dBm for 70 MHz IF

Measurement statistics:

– current– maximum– minimum– mean

SNR: (dB) Provides SNR estimates reported in dB for both L-Band and 70 MHz IF inputs.

Measurement range:

– 0 to -25 dB for L-Band– 0 to -18 dB for 70 MHz IF

Measurement statistics:

– current– maximum– minimum– mean

Freq. Get: (MHz) Provides the frequency in MHz of the received signal that the tuner locks to.

Symbol Rate (MS/s) Provides the symbol rate in MS/s of the received signal.

Code Rate Displays the code rate automatically detected for DVB QPSK, DCII QPSK and DCII OQPSK. The code rate for Turbo 8PSK and Turbo QPSK is manually set.



Spectral Inversion The receiver automatically detects if the receive signal spectral inver-sion is set on or off.

LNB Power Provides LNB power On/Off status.

Reset Counters Button provided to reset counters to zero.
