Description

Highest-end modulator for satellite, terrestrial and cable standards, up to the latest standards such as ATSC 3.0. The DTA-2115B can be a single-channel 72-MHz bandwidth modulator, or it can function as eight independent 8-MHz modulators.

DTA-2115B Features

  • Supports every popular digital TV and digital audio modulation standard
  • Ultra low phase noise
  • Wideband upconverter 32…2186MHz, fully agile over VHF, UHF and L-band
  • All-digital modulation for flexibility and excellent signal quality
  • Digital channel simulator option including multipath echo and phase noise simulation
  • 1-lane PCI Express gen3 (PCIe3 1x)

–   DTC-385-HW8CH  –  8-channel modulation firmware option

DTA-2115B Applications

  • The ultimate test modulator in the lab
  • Automatic test equipment for tuners, receivers, TV sets
  • With DTAPI: Create your own application that generates an RF signal that can be directly fed to any receiver

Standard Firmware – 1x 72-MHz Modulator

The standard firmware of the DTA-2115B implements a universal modulator with 72-MHz bandwidth, agile over VHF, UHF and L-band. A block diagram of this firmware is shown below. Special features include GPS synchronization to 1-pps and 10-MHz inputs, and phase noise emulation.

 

Firmware Option – 8x 8-MHz Modulators

The DTC-385-HW8CH option, also included in DTA-2115B-GOLD, enables the 8x 8-MHz firmware variant (select with DtInfo). It contains 8 independent 8-MHz modulators that can be set to different (or the same) modulation standards, e.g. 2x DVB-T2, 2x DVB-C, 3x ATSC and 1x ISDB-T.

Each of the 8 modulators is fully agile over the VHF and UHF band. The carriers can be positioned anywhere in this band, independent of each other.
