Distortion Testing Service


Matrix has a fully automated distortion testing service that can provide fast measurements at our facility and transmit the results to you, or offer the test facility to perform your own testing.  The measurements available are:

·        Cross Modulation

·        CTB

·        CSO (Above and Below video carrier)

·        C/N

·        Discrete Second Order

·        Discrete Third Order

·        Hum Modulation

·        Noise Figure

·        Insertion Loss

·        Return Loss

·        For Digital Measurement – MER, BER, CIN, CCN

Forward analog Carrier Frequencies up to 1003.25 MHz with up to 159 Carriers, and Return Carriers from 7 to 91 MHz or greater.  QAM carriers from 90 – 880 MHz are available for digital testing.  Intermodulation distortion measurement capability to better than 100 dBC.

Software for high speed production testing is available that can make measurements at several test frequencies simultaneously.  Some timings are listed below:

·        Cross Mod in 4 – 6 seconds/test frequency

·        CTB and CSO (Above and Below carrier) Both in 7 seconds

·        C/N  in 3 seconds if performed together with another test

·        CTB and CSO for 3 frequencies with parallel processing software in 8 seconds

·        DSO and DTO at 1 test frequency in 3 seconds with single set of 3 carriers, 2 seconds for each test with different carriers

Deliverables: Spreadsheets of all results with test conditions noted and plots of all distortions.
