CATV Analyzers

The Trilithic SpeedSweep^TM System extends the 860 DSPi’s HFC plant maintenance functionality, giving techs the ability to test forward and reverse RF sweep response, in addition to a wide and growing range of signal analysis features. The forward sweep is transmitted from the model 8300 FST Forward SpeedSweep Transmitter, and the reverse sweep is received by the 9581 RSA Reverse SpeedSweep Analyzer. Existing 860 series analyzers with the SR-1 Sweep Receiver Option can be upgraded with the FS-1 Forward SpeedSweep option by purchasing it and downloading the firmware

The Trilithic SpeedSweep System provides sweep functionality with a minimal capital investment, putting the sweep troubleshooting/maintenance tool into the hands of more field technicians, and improving their ability to find problems quickly – in many cases before subscribers are affected. This leads to improved system reliability and shorter repair times

The SpeedSweep System includes the 8300 FST, which generates a sweep stimulus for the downstream measurement; an 860 analyzer with a sweep option FS-1, which receives the forward sweep and with SR-1 option transmits reverse sweep signals for upstream measurements; and the 9581 RSA, which receives the upstream sweep signal generated by the 860 and relays the measurement results back to the 860
