Rohde & Schwarz EFA33 Test Receiver (B/G Analog TV)

Since the analog terrestrial standard B/G is still commonly in use, and broadcasters need a future-proof solution for their short- and long-term investment, Rohde & Schwarz provides a high-end measurement device that can cover all application areas from R&D to field measurements. This R&S EFA model was created to offer the best performance and the most useful features to test standard B/G transmitters under optimal conditions.

To further protect your investment, the unit can be updated by means of options to demodulate and analyse the digital CATV standards DVB-C (option R&S EFA-K21) and ITU-T J.83/B (option R&S EFA K-23) as well as the ATSC/8VSB digital terrestrial standard (option R&S EFA K-22). These unique features make the new EFA family members THE measurement devices for the present and the future!

Characteristics of analog R&S EFA models 12/33

Fully compatible with analog standards, the analog R&S EFA models receive and demodulate most analog TV standards (B/G, D/K and I). All key parameters for demodulating the received signal can be automatically or manually selected:

• Switchable group delay correction
• Switchable synchronous detector (5 different modes)
• Demodulation using intercarrier method
• Balanced audio outputs
• Measurement functions for
• vision/sound carrier spacing (level and frequency)
• FM sound carrier and pilot deviation
• Residual Picture Carrier (RPC) or video modulation depth
• Input of any IF frequency with the aid of the R&S EFA-B3 option: frequency range continuously tunable from 5 MHz to 1000 MHz
