Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.1 - E-41 About this ManualThis manual is part of the documentation for the NX8000 family of transmitters from Rohde& Schwarz. Each transmitter and each transmitter component is described in a separatemanual. The individual manuals of the family of transmitters are modular in structure andcomplement each other. StructureEach transmitter component is described in a separate manual and can thus be used as anindividual component (where practical). The transmitter manual is the main document forthe entire set of documentation. It describes all steps that are necessary to install a trans-mitter, put it into operation, operate and maintain it. Where applicable, the transmitter man-ual refers to the individual manuals for the various components. The component manuals,in turn, also refer to the transmitter manual whenever the component is to be used as atransmitter module.ContentsThe manuals for the family of transmitters describe all steps required to install the transmit-ter or one of its components, put them into operation, operate and maintain them, trouble-shoot and service them. The Annex includes interface descriptions plus technicaldocuments. For convenience, all manuals are structured identically. Sections that are not relevant to themanual at hand are also included but are left blank. SafetyAll skilled personnel working with a transmitter or its components must read all relevantmanuals and comply with the safety measures that are detailed in the chapter about safetyand in the applicable sections in the manual. The transmitter and the individual transmittercomponents must be used only for their intended purpose. All operations involving thetransmitter or individual transmitter components must be performed by skilled personnel.The manual will point out specifically if additional qualifications are required. Symbols and LayoutThe triangular warning symbol indicates danger. In addition to the triangular warning sym-bol, different key words indicate the level of potential danger.Instructions are given in numbered steps or indicated by an "index finger" symbol to the leftof the instruction text. The results of the performed instructions are indented.The key word "Note" precedes notes. Notes contain additional information and tips to helpfacilitate the work at hand. All other formatting options add structure to the text and are self-explanatory.

Basic Safety Instructions 1171.0000.42-05.00  Page 3 Electrical safety If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all to the extent necessary, electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.  1.  Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.  2.  In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is permitted only on sockets with an earthing contact and protective earth connection. 3.  Intentionally breaking the protective earth connection either in the feed line or in the product itself is not permitted. Doing so can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are safe to use. 4.  If the product does not have a power switch for disconnection from the AC supply network, the plug of the connecting cable is regarded as the disconnecting device. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all times (corresponding to the length of connecting cable, approx. 2 m). Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems, a disconnecting device must be provided at the system level. 5.  Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cable on a regular basis to ensure that it is in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and carefully laying the power cable, you can ensure that the cable will not be damaged and that no one can be hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.  6.  The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks fused with max. 16 A (higher fuse only after consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies). 7.  Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the socket. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.  8.  Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric shocks. 9.  For measurements in circuits with voltages Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate measuring equipment, fusing, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be taken to avoid any hazards. 10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial computers, comply with the IEC60950-1/EN60950-1 or IEC61010-1/EN 61010-1 standards that apply in each case. 11. Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage to the product. 12. If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the PE terminal on site and the product's PE conductor must be made first before any other connection is made. The product may be installed and connected only by a licensed electrician. 13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective devices, the supply circuit must be fused in such a way that anyone who has access to the product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.
Basic Safety Instructions 1171.0000.42-05.00  Page 4 14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the danger of an electric shock. 15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries. 16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and operating positions", item 1. Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury. 17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock. 18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers. Operation 1.  Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable personnel for operating the products. 2.  Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport". 3.  As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction (allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded.

Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.4 - E-44 Special Danger Warnings4.1 Hazards due to AC Supply VoltageThere is a risk of electric shock with any Vrms > 30 V AC or V > 60 V DC voltage. Appropri-ate measures must be taken to prevent exposure to any danger when working with voltagesthat bear the risk of electric shock. Never work on live parts unless specifically required andonly if the special safety precautions are complied with.4.1.1 AC Power SupplyBefore connecting the AC power supply, it is important to ensure that the power supplyspecifications given for the system or instruments match the nominal specifications forthe local power supply network. The power supply circuit must be protected by meansof fuses in order to prevent overloads and short-circuits.Miniature modules have neutral conductor fuses. As a result, the power supply may stillbe connected even after interruption of the circuit by a fuse. It is quite possible for a transmitter to have several separate electric circuits. Each of thesecircuits is subject to the following requirements:All electrical connections between the transmitter and the AC power supply must complywith the following conditions:– The transmitter can be disconnected at any time.– The transmitter can be prevented from being switched back on.– The transmitter is terminated with a fully protected power cable matched to the powerconsumption.1– Ensure that phase rotation is correct (direction of rotation of fans!).Service socketsIt is common practice to equip transmitters with a connector that carries voltage even whenthe transmitter is turned off and that allows power to be supplied to test equipment or a sol-dering iron. These connectors are identified, e.g. by an LED, and may only be used for theaforementioned purposes. The intended purpose of the sockets means that they have only a limited power output. Theconnector is not suitable for supplying power to heating equipment or large test sets.The transmitter operator is responsible for providing the correct fuse protection (themaximum value is specified on the socket).In the case of accessory parts that are not connected to the main transmitter, the trans-mitter operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures to ensure that the instal-lation is safe in the respective switching state.1 Obtain the specifications from this documentation and also adhere to the breaking capacity limits of the fusesand circuit breakers in the transmitter.
Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.5 - E-44.1.2 Replacing FusesReplace the safety fuses accessible in the operator area only if no voltage is being ap-plied to the instruments. The safety fuses may be replaced only by fuses with identicalelectric data, identical switching characteristics and identical switch-off capacity.Motor and line circuit breakers accessible in the transmitter's operator area may be op-erated. If their response range is selectable, do not change the settings made by themanufacturer. If the settings are accidentally changed, reset them by using the correctvalues specified in this documentation.4.1.3 Emergency-Off EquipmentIf the customer requests, the transmitters are equipped with emergency keys. When thetransmitters are supplied, these keys have basically no function. The transmitter opera-tor is responsible for ensuring that these emergency keys function safely and to inte-grate them into the emergency-off system of the operator area in accordance with theregulations. If you subsequently decide not to use the emergency keys as an emergen-cy-off system, you must remove them. Extremely important! A transmitter normally has several AC supply circuits that areindependent from each other, such as main AC supply circuit, AC current supply for ac-cessory equipment (main control unit, antenna switch, etc) or AC current supply for adisabled socket. The transmitter operator is responsible for making sure that all these circuits are inte-grated correctly into the emergency-off system. Circuits not integrated have to be la-beled accordingly.Never set up a transmitter that is equipped with disabled emergency-off equipment.4.1.4 Opening the TransmitterWhen you open the transmitter to carry out mechanical/electrical tasks (e.g. cleaning,repair, etc) always follow the five basic rules for working with electrical systems:– Disconnect the transmitter from the power supply– Secure it against inadvertent switch-on– Verify safe isolation from any power– Ground or short-circuit it2– Cover adjacent active circuits.Extremely important! A transmitter normally has several AC supply circuits that are in-dependent from each other, such as main AC supply circuit, AC current supply for ac-cessory equipment (main control unit, antenna switch, etc) or AC current supply for adisabled socket. Prior to performing any work, check the current status of the circuits. Also disconnectadjacent circuits to prevent inadvertent contact.2 Not all transmitter types can be grounded or short-circuited by using a grounding or short-circuit switch. If asuitable device for grounding or short-circuiting is not available, the skilled personnel must take appropriatemeasures as deemed necessary.
Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.6 - E-4If you have to perform any work on the RF circuit, isolate the antenna connector as well. Caution! If other transmitters, etc, are in operation that are coupled to the same antennavia RF filters, energy from them can be fed back via the antenna cable.Never open a disconnected transmitter without taking protective measures againsttouching voltage-carrying parts.Due to the risk of electric shock from the AC supply voltage, never perform any electricaloperations when doors are open, front panels are unscrewed, plug-ins are withdrawn,etc. When electrical operations of the transmitter are performed for the purpose of internalmeasurements or repair, label the workplace accordingly and provide warning about thepotential hazards in accordance with the basic rules of electrical engineering. Appropriate measures have to be taken to prevent unauthorized persons from access-ing this area. After completing your work, close the transmitter and restore all safety measures for pre-venting electric shock that have been provided by the manufacturer. Immediately makesure that protective equipment (e.g. locks) is effective.4.2 Hazards due to High-Energy CircuitsThe instruments include low-voltage circuits which can be fed from an extremely low-imped-ance voltage source(e.g. amplifier operating voltage). These circuits conduct dangerouslylarge amounts of energy. We handle these circuits in the same manner as circuits with volt-ages that bear the risk of electric shock. They are usually covered and thus protectedagainst accidental contact. The cover comes with a warning label.If you remove the cover of a transmitter that is in operation, there is the risk of both voltagepoles being short-circuited. Short circuits create an electric arc and thus can cause burns,damage to the eyes as well as further injuries due to the state of shock response.Practical experience has repeatedly shown that a short circuit caused by metal tools cancause severe burns. For safety reasons, high-energy circuits are protected by covers andare thus not accessible within the operator area of the instruments.If you need to measure low-impedance voltages, during repair work or to optimize thepower consumption of the transmitter for example, exercise the same caution as whenmeasuring operating voltages that bear the risk of electric shock.Wear protective clothing if necessary.Before you open an instrument or remove its cover, switch off the operating voltage andwait for five minutes to ensure that any and all capacitors are sufficiently discharged.Do not short-ciruit capacitors to discharge them.4.3 RF Hazards4.3.1 Mandatory TrainingOperators must instruct their personnel on how to use this transmitter or instrument inaccordance with EN 60215 and IEC 215. This periodic training must cover the radio-fre-
Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.7 - E-4quency hazards of the individual transmitter or instrument. Only after such training hasbeen provided and documented may the operating personnel handle switching and op-erating tasks.High-energy RF circuits within the transmitter or the instrument are routed via conventionaldetachable RF connectors (e.g. N). Depending on the output power, the transmitter or in-strument outputs come with screw-in or pluggable RF lines or ducts.If RF lines or modules conduct high power, the connection point or the entire module ismarked with the standard warning symbol (yellow triangle with black exclamation mark).4.3.2 RF ShieldingTransmitters and instruments from Rohde & Schwarz are shielded in such a manner thatRF radiation does not pose any danger even in the immediate vicinity if all RF lines areclosed. This statement is based on the ordinance for electromagnetic fields as defined inGerman law: The 26th ordinance for the Federal Emission Protection Law dated December 16, 1996 de-fines limit values for radio-frequency equipment for electric and magnetic field strengths. 4.3.3 Rules for Operating the TransmitterOpening RF lines during operation may cause electric arcs. This can cause burns and eyeinjuries.Operate the transmitter system only if an antenna or dummy antenna is connected.Never undo RF lines during transmitter operation.Never open modules during transmitter operation.Never put transmitters into operation if RF lines are open. 3When disconnecting a transmitter, always disconnect the antenna connector as well. Ifother transmitters, etc, are in operation that are coupled to the same antenna via RF fil-ters, energy from them can be fed back via the antenna cable.4.3.4 Rules for Working with an Open TransmitterIf you switch on an open transmitter and remove covers and shielding that carry the generalwarning symbol of RF modules, dangerous RF levels will be radiated .The transmitter operator is responsible for strict compliance with the necessary safety pre-cautions when someone is working with or located near an open transmitter that is switchedon. Necessary safety regulations include:3 If you try to put the transmitter into operation, RF power is transmitted. If RF lines are open, the transmitterswitches off the RF again. This attempt to transmit RF can lead to the above mentioned risks of injury even if- as is the case with Rohde & Schwarz transmitters - the RF flow is limited and transient due to technical mea-sures.
Chapter 1 Safety Instructions2098.1190.72 - 1.8 - E-4Labeling the workplace as subject to RF hazards Wearing RF protective clothTaking special safety precautions for persons with implants such as metal parts, pace-makers, etc,  since they are particularly susceptible to injury.4.4 Fire Hazards Every electric circuit containing sufficient energy and to which voltage is applied poses firehazards. This also applies to radio transmitters. For transmitter radio systems, it is thereforenecessary to create a safety plan for the event of fire. Operating personnel must be trained on how to proceed in the case of fire in areas contain-ing electrical systems; training must be repeated at regular intervals. Personnel should betrained on the basis of the VDE 0132 standard and in agreement with the local fire depart-ment. The following statement applies in Germany. Preventive measures at the site in questioncan largely eliminate the risk of fire or prevent its spread as far as possible.Prevention and fire-fightingWhen setting up the transmitter, the operator must ensure that no inflammable materialsare located below or above the cable entry nor attached to it. Make sure that openings to adjacent spaces are closed in a flame-retardant manner.Fire-fighting is only allowed with special equipment even if the flames are insignificantor have no effect at all (e.g. breathing mask with air bottle).For fire-fighting, only suitable fire extinguishers (e.g. CO2 extinguishers) may be used.One reason for requiring special equipment is the fact that extremely poisonous and imper-ceptible carbon monoxide is released during every fire. Another reason is that the materialscontained in the instruments and systems emit poisonous vapors, gases and dust such assulfuric acid and hydrogen sulfide, hydrochloric acid, dioxin, hydrofluoric acid and berylliumoxide dust when they are exposed to external flame and heat. The following materials can be affected:– Rubber in cables, cable bushings, vibration absorbers and instrument feet– PVC in cables and lines– PUR (foam) in insulators, molded parts, sealing mats and insulating strips– Teflon in cables, lines, insulation material and printed boards – Beryllium oxide ceramics in power transistors

Chapter 2 Design and Characteristics2098.0188.72 - 2.18 - E-1The splitter distributes the output signal of the exciter to the individual amplifiers. In addition,an integrated attenuator that is dependent on the number of outputs ensures that the RFsignal is output at the right power level. The splitter is a broadband unit that operates in the frequency range 470 MHz to 862 MHz.1.5.2 AmplifierFig. 22 R&S VH8300A1 amplifierThe R&S VH8300A1 air-cooled amplifier operates in the broadband range from 470 MHzto 862 MHz (UHF bands IV/V) and is suitable for both analog and digital signals withoutneeding to be adjusted. The output power of an amplifier is, depending on the requirementswith regard to the MER, between 450 W und 500 W.The amplifiers amplify the exciter signals distributed by the splitter and forward them to thecombiner. The amplifiers in a transmitter rack are controlled via the rack controller. Mea-sured values and status information are recorded by the rack controller via CAN bus andforwarded to the R&S NetCCU800 transmitter control unit. The number of amplifiers in thetransmitter depends on the transmit power. Note For detailed information about the amplifier, refer to the amplifier manual.Transmitters with one amplifier in rackIn transmitters with only one amplifier in the rack, the splitter and combiner are omitted. Thesignals of the exciter are fed directly to the amplifier and, following amplification, routed fur-ther downstream in the signal path to the harmonics filter.1.5.3 CombinerNote This section is not relevant for transmitters having only one amplifier in the rack.

Chapter 2 Design and Characteristics2098.0188.72 - 2.22 - E-11.6.2 Directional CouplersFig. 26 Directional couplersThe forward and reflected power is detected at the transmitter output by means of the fre-quency-compensated directional couplers P14A (forward) and P14B (reflected). The fre-quency-compensated directional couplers output a power-proportional DC voltage to theR&S NetCCU800 transmitter control unit via the integrated rectifier circuit. The DC voltagesfor forward and reflected power are displayed in the R&S NetCCU800 and also used as anS measurement for VSWR monitoring (reflection on the antenna).Directional coupler P14C is a free test point that can be used either as a forward or reflectedpower test point. The P14D rectifier is used in the digital TV transmitter only in combination with the ADE op-tion.Note The transmitter is switched off due to reflection if the reflected value exceeds 2% of the for-ward value after being checked three times.

Chapter 3 Installation2098.0188.72 - 3.19 - E-16 Amplifiers When the transmitter is delivered, one or two exciters and an R&S NetCCU800 are alreadymounted in the rack. The amplifiers, however, are not and must be retrofitted in the rack.6.1 Installing AmplifiersNote Before installing the amplifier, make sure that the ventilation covers on the amplifier slotsprovided in the frame are open on both sides. Remove the covers if necessary.Note It is advisable to install the amplifiers in sequence starting at the top and working down tothe bottom.Install the amplifiers as follows:1. Carefully remove the amplifier from its packaging.2. Select the installation position provided for the amplifier in the transmitter rack.3. Place the amplifier on the guide rails and slide it carefully into the rack as far as it will go.The amplifier is guided onto the connections by means of guide pins on the rear panel. 4. Secure the amplifier in place using the 4 screws of the two front brackets on the rack.5. To install additional amplifiers, repeat steps 1 to 4.Fig. 15 Installing an amplifierWARNING!Always make sure that the power supply is disconnected before commencing any installa-tion work on the transmitter rack. This will prevent injury caused by electric shock and damage to the instruments.CAUTION!Always have a second person assist you in installing the amplifiers as the instruments are very heavy (approx. 28 kg).
Chapter 3 Installation2098.0188.72 - 3.20 - E-17 Connecting Antenna/Dummy Antenna to RF ConnectorThe connection flanges for the antenna cables are uniformly 1 5/8“ EIA for TV transmittersin the R&S NV8300 family. These flanges are located on the roof of the transmitter. Depend-ing on the transmitter station (one or more transmitters), either the antenna (RF cable or RFtransmission line) or an RF connection is connected directly to a multiple combining filter.7.1 Connecting Antenna Connect the antenna as follows:Using the 4 screws (M8, 35 mm), secure the coaxial cable preassembled on the stationto the EIA flange of the transmitter's RF output. To prevent the screw connection fromloosening, insert a plain washer and a spring-lock washer.Note In regions with high humidity, the supplied rubber ring can be inserted into the groove be-tween the two EIA flanges.ATTENTION!You should not connect the antenna until you have completed all measurements.
Chapter 3 Installation2098.0188.72 - 3.21 - E-1Fig. 16 RF connection with adapter7.2 Connecting Dummy AntennaThe dummy antenna is only connected when putting the system into operation or for main-tenance and repair purposes.With some dummy antennas that have coolant monitoring and overtemperature monitoring,the monitoring equipment can be connected to the transmitter. The main protection loop(X41.1 and X41.2 in the power distribution) can be used here as a temporary measure (e.g.while the unit is being put into operation). 1. To connect the main protection loop, use the inserted jumper plug and remove the jump-er.2. Connect the monitoring cable in place of the jumper.If you are using an RF patch panel that allows you to switch between the antenna and dum-my antenna by means of an RF U-link connector (permanent installation), you should con-nect the dummy antenna monitoring unit to the standby protection loop (X41.3 and X41.4in the power distribution). This requires the patch panel messages to be additionally con-nected to the R&S NetCCU800 transmitter control unit (X12.15 antenna message or X12.3dummy antenna message, to X12.16 GND). Activation of the dummy antenna (via X33 inthe power distribution) is then also active.

Amplifier 10). Since the numbering is derived from the chronologicalsequence in which the amplifiers can be detected on the CAN bus, it does not always cor-respond to the sequence in which the amplifiers are physically arranged from top (= 1) tobottom (= n) in the rack.To make association between menu and amplifier easier, the entries can be sorted.1. Select Outputstage A > Setup > Rack Setup > Rack 1 > Amplifier Order.The Amplifier Order window opens.

Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.31 - E-14 PrecorrectionThis section describes the non-linear precorrection sequence in manual mode.4.1 Functions of Nonlinear Precorrector4.1.1 GeneralIn the basic version, the graphical user interface of the non-linear precorrector for DTV andvideo signals consists of the Nonlinear control panel and the FreqCorrection control pan-el. In the case of ATV split, two further control panels are provided: Dynamic Control forthe video precorrector and Nonlinear Audio for the audio signal. In combined mode an au-dio phase precorrector is also provided for audio.4.1.2 Linear Basic PrecorrectionThe basic functions of the non-linear precorrector can be accessed via the Nonlinear andNonlinear Audio control panels. Additional functions can be performed in the other controlpanels.Every non-linear precorrector consists of an amplitude precorrector and a phase precorrec-tor, each independently affecting the phase distortion and amplitude distortion of the samesignal. The setting of the characteristic is displayed in a graphic in which the X axis repre-sents the instantaneous signal amplitude. The figures 0% and 100% stand for no signal am-plitude and maximum amplitude respectively. The Y axis represent the effect and is scaledto ±50 % for amplitude precorrection and ±45° for phase precorrection. 50% means that at100% amplitude the level is increased by 3 dB.Every precorrector has a series of frequency reference points which are used to model thecharacteristic. Frequency reference points can be user-defined, shifted in the X and Y di-rections, be given a fixed or free slope and be deleted. In the X direction a frequency refer-ence point can only be shifted between the two adjacent reference points. The connectionsbetween frequency reference points are computed by means of spline functions.Every characteristic consists of at least two points, one of which must be at 0% and the oth-er at 100%.In the case of amplitude precorrection the first point is at [0%, 0%] and cannot be shifted.The second point is at 100% and can be shifted without restriction in the Y direction. A risingor falling straight line between the two points represents only an amplification or attenuationof the signal and does not create non-linear products.In the case of phase precorrection the first point is at 0% and the second point is at 100%.Both points can be shifted without restriction in the Y direction. A straight line parallel to theamplitude axis creates only a signal phase shift and does not create non-linear products.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.32 - E-14.1.3 Nonlinear Frequency ResponsesAs an additional function, the non-linear components of the DTV/video precorrection (am-plitude or phase precorrection) can be assigned a frequency response in the FreqCorrec-tion control panel, and the effect of the frequency response depends on the modulation.If the amplitude precorrection or phase precorrection is affected by an amplitude frequencyresponse, only the "individual" precorrection is affected. Amplitude precorrection and phaseprecorrection have no influence on one another.If the amplitude precorrection or phase precorrection is affected by a phase frequency re-sponse, part of the "individual" precorrection affects the other precorrection. The amplitudeprecorrection and phase precorrection therefore have an influence on one another.4.1.4 Dynamic Precorrection (ATV Split Only)In ATV split systems, the large fluctuations in the average value of the video signal bringsabout temperature changes in the output-stage transistor which lead to changes in the out-put stage characteristic as a function of the average value of the modulation. This error canbe compensated for by dynamically modifying the characteristic as a function of the aver-age signal value.4.1.5 Audio Phase Precorrection (ATV Combined Only)In ATV combined systems, the common amplification of video and audio causes the audiosignal to be affected by the video signal. This effect can be minimized with the aid of anaudio phase precorrector.4.2 General Information on Operating PrecorrectorThe precorrector is operated by means of a web browser. The R&S NetCCU800 or exciterprovides a JAVA applet which is launched by the web browser. This applet contains all ofthe elements needed to operate the precorrector.Note Detailed information on operating the precorrector and configuring the graphical user inter-face can be found in the chapter "Operation" of the exciter manual.4.3 Performing PrecorrectionThe objective of precorrection is for the precorrector to simulate the non-linear characteris-tic of the amplifier as accurately as possible in order to increase the linearity of the outputsignal.However, the precorrection limit is tied to the overload capacity of the output stage. To ob-tain the greatest possible efficiency and lowest possible costs for a given transmitter, theoutput stages are set so as to achieve a transmitter output signal of the required quality.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.33 - E-14.3.1 General RequirementsThe following requirements should be fulfilled prior to precorrection:The transmitter must be operated at its nominal power output and the system level mustbe adjusted at all points.Precorrection must be on, for which the Nonlinear control panel must be selected in theprecorrector graphical interface. A precorrection curve consisting of a straight line posi-tioned on the X axis must be set for the amplitude precorrection and another for thephase precorrection.4.3.2 Determining System LevelsThe graphical area contains lines representing distinctive signal levels such as all-white lev-el (Wht), all-black level (Blk) and sync pulse level (Sync), as well as sync pulse level (Sync/Aud) in the case of ATV combined. In DVT the level lines indicate the peak level (Peak) andthe average value (Avh). These marks indicate maximum level; the actual level may be dif-ferent.Changes to the set curve that affect only the range above the system level have no effecton the signal or on precorrection of the signal. The following method can be used to determine the actual values:1. Use two interpolation points to determine the ends of the effective dynamic range in or-der to define the possible setting range of the precorrector:a) Add two interpolation points to the amplitude precorrection graph in the area abovethe highest mark and set their slope.You now have four points, consecutively numbered 1 to 4 from left to right. Points 2and 3 are each indicated by an arrow.b) Shift points 3 and 4 in the positive Y direction by +50%. Point 3 should then be im-mediately adjacent to point 2.c) Use the Write button to write this curve to the precorrector.2. Now use the Navigator window to reduce the position of interpolation points 2 and 3 to-gether in steps of one percent. Observe the effect:3. Restore the original status.ATV Split In ATV split systems, the first effect is seen in the sync pulse length, which can be clearly observed on the TV demodulator (sync pulse length dis-play) or the TV analyzer.ATV Combined In ATV combined systems, the first effect is seen in the intermodulation products about the two sound carriers fTx ± default f(T2-T1)DTV In DTV systems the effect is seen as a reduced shoulder distanceThe upper of the two interpolation points thus represents the determined dynamic range limit.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.34 - E-1Fig. 1 Determining system levels4.3.3 Precorrection Procedure4.3.3.1 Starting PrecorrectionRequirementsThe following requirements should be fulfilled prior to precorrection:The transmitter must be operated at its nominal power output and the system level mustbe adjusted at all points.A spectrum analyzer must be connected to the transmitter output. Note A measurement should be taken upstream of the output filter as the shoulders are difficultto detect owing to the band limiting of the filter. When measuring signals using the spectrumanalyzer, it is important to ensure that the precorrection target (e.g. 38 dB shoulder dis-tance) is well above the noise limit, but the frequency range of the spectrum analyzer issuch that no intermodulation is generated in its input section. Precorrection must be activated. In the graphics area for the amplitude and phase pre-correction, two interpolation points are present in each graph: the first point is modula-tion 0% with magnitude 0% or 0°, and the second point is modulation 100% withmagnitude 0% or 0°.A DTV spectrum with clear shoulders should be visible on the analyzer.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.35 - E-1Fig. 2 Example: DVB signal spectrum1) Shoulder distance2) Useful signal3) ShoulderStart1. Start precorrection with the phase precorrection.2. Since phase precorrection and amplitude precorrection affect one another, repeat bothprecorrection procedures if necessary until the optimum result is obtained. 4.3.3.2 Phase PrecorrectionProceed as follows for phase precorrection:1. Add in a phase reference point at about 10%.This position corresponds to a lower modulation of the amplifier.2. Shift the magnitude of the interpolation point for 100% up or down in steps of 0.5 orsmaller (+ or -) until the shoulder distance on the analyzer visibly improves.3. Keep improving the shoulder distance on the analyzer until the optimum result is ob-tained.4. Set another point at about 35%.5. Shift the magnitude of the interpolation point for 10% up or down in steps of ±0.5 orsmaller until the shoulder distance on the analyzer visibly improves. 6. Keep shifting the magnitudes of interpolation points 2 (10%), 3 (35%) and 4 (100%) insmall steps until the optimum result is obtained. Note Further interpolation points can be added for an optimum precorrection. The recommendednumber is four to a maximum of six interpolation points (including the interpolation points at0% and 100%). If phase precorrection gives no improvement or only a minor one, the phase precorrectionmust be canceled and amplitude precorrection must be carried out first.123 3
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.36 - E-1Fig. 3 Typical curve for starting precorrection with amplitude precorrection switched off4.3.3.3 Amplitude PrecorrectionThe procedure for amplitude precorrection is the same as that for phase precorrection. If the first interpolation point brings about an improvement, deal similarly with the other in-terpolation points.1. Set the interpolation points more or less at the positions of the phase values.2. Set all magnitudes to zero.3. Starting with the interpolation point for the white level (low), change the magnitude (insteps of ± 0.5 or smaller) in order to find the precorrection.Note From here on it is a prerequisite that the precorrection for phase and amplitude has beenoptimized at all interpolation points.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.37 - E-1Fig. 4 Typical curve with both phase and amplitude precorrection switched on4. Optimize the shoulder distance using all interpolation points again, in particular by shift-ing the interpolation point at 100%. Keep carrying out phase precorrection and amplitude precorrection alternately until no fur-ther improvement can be obtained. Note Further interpolation points can be added for an optimum precorrection. The recommendednumber is four to a maximum of six interpolation points (including the interpolation points at0% and 100%). 4.3.3.4 Frequency-Dependent PrecorrectionBackgroundThe FreqCorrection control panel can be used to influence the characteristic by means ofan amplitude and/or phase frequency response, the effect of which is dependent on the lev-el.A set frequency response is applied to all signal components having a level greater thanthe selected threshold. On the other hand lesser signal components are unaffected.An amplitude frequency response (Amplitude Slope Amplitude 1/2 or Amplitude SlopePhase 1/2) and a phase frequency response (Phase Slope Amplitude 1/2 or Phase SlopePhase 1/2) can be applied to the amplitude characteristic and the phase characteristic in-dependently of one another. Two independent thresholds are available (Position Point 1or Position Point 2). The position of the thresholds (1 or 2) and their effect (A or P) aresymbolically represented in the graphic.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.38 - E-1Optimizing the shoulder distance1. First use the the Curve Data Amplitude Read and Curve Data Phase Read buttons inthe Nonlinear control panel to read off the characteristics currently set in the precorrec-tor.The characteristics are displayed in the display part of the graphic.2. Go to the FreqCorrection control panel.The characteristics can be seen in the graphic.3. In the precorrector graphical user interface, switch Correction to ON and also activateCorrection Point 1, Amplitude Slope Point 1 and Phase Slope Point 1. Set PositionPoint 1 to 5%.Fig. 5 The FreqCorrection user interface with an onset point at 5%4. Now minimize the shoulder distance to left and right of the signal range by alternatelysetting the amplitude and phase regulators with the aid of the slopes of point 1. 5. Go back to the Nonlinear control panel.6. If necessary optimize the characteristic.7. Keep repeating steps 2, 3, 4 and 6 until the shoulder distance to left and right of the sig-nal range reaches the required value between 37 dB and 40 dB. If necessary you must to some extent suppress the frequency dependent non-linearity inthe upper level range.
Chapter 4 Commissioning2098.0188.72 - 4.39 - E-11. Set another onset point in the upper level range >25%. 2. Optimize the shoulder distance by alternately setting the amplitude and phase regula-tors with the aid of the slopes of point 2.The slopes will then point in the opposite direction than at Point 1.Fig. 6 The FreqCorrection user interface with a second onset point4.3.3.5 Fine Adjustment Using an Existing or Preset CharacteristicIf the required data is not or is no longer observed to be in an existing or factory-set precor-rection characteristic, the precorrection does not necessarily have to be readjusted.An adjustment to the true amplifier characteristic can be obtained by changing individualinterpolation points. The range with the greatest effect can be determined by slightly chang-ing individual interpolation points. Changing the interpolation values in this range will mostprobably produce the desired result. Changes should be made in small steps, preferablywith the aid of the Navigator window. A change must be undone if it does not result in animprovement.
