Now available from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), the new Rohde & Schwarz FSH3-TV is a hand-held spectrum analysers incorporating measurement functions for analogue and digital TV signals.

The FSH3-TV combines the functions and features of a complete spectrum analyser with those of a TV test receiver in a single measurement instrument. Its portability makes it ideal for technicians who perform measurements on site - during new installations or maintenance and repair work on the components of TV cable networks and transmitters, for example.

The instrument's compact housing is designed for portable use. Its robust edge protection and RF connector covers safeguard the FSH3-TV against mechanical and weather-related conditions. The FSH3-TV weighs only 2.8 kg.

The FSH3-TV analyser comes equipped with a TV board, a preamplifier and a tracking generator. The TV board permits measurements of analogue TV signals and their demodulation. The demodulated video signal, which is made available at an output that can be used either as a CCVS (analogue TV) or a TS-ASI (digital TV) output, can be routed to an external monitor or an MPEG decoder. The headphones supplied with the instrument can be used to listen to the sound of the analogue TV signal.

Options are available for performing distance-to-fault measurements and measurements on digital TV signals. In addition, a vector transmission measurement option can be added to the standard tracking generator, allowing the FSH3-TV to be used in development and service applications.
