SECTION1GENERALINFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Wavetek hand-held System Sweep Receiver performs essential

cable TV system preventive maintenance tests with accuracy and

ease. Signal levels, hum, C/N, and frequency response can be quickly

tested without subscriber interference.

The Sweep System is made up of two components; the 3SR Receiver,

and 3ST Transmitter. The contents of this manual will describe the

care and operation of the 3SR Receiver, including Reverse Sweep

option using the 3HRV Headend Reverse Sweep Receiver.

Frequency response is tested by injecting a low level signal in vacant

spectrum areas, and monitoring cable system carrier levels in occupied

spectrum areas. In addition to generating the sweep test signal, the

3ST Transmitter continuously monitors the system carriers. The 3ST

sends headend level readings to the 3SR Receiver with every sweep

update. In this way, any headend level changes are compensated by

the receiver to maintain the utmost measurement accuracy.

With the Reverse Sweep option, a transmitter is built into the hand-

held sweep receiver. The headend sweep transmitter (3ST) is set up

to receive the reverse sweep sent from the field. When a reverse

sweep is activated from a field test point, the headend transmitter

receives the telemetry signal that indicates which receiver is sending

the sweep. The headend transmitter measures the sweep, and sends

the results, along with the serial number of the sending receiver via its

telemetry signal to the field. The field receiver with the tagged serial

number then displays the sweep response as measured in the headend

on its LCD.

The addition of the 3HRV to the Wavetek Sweep System takes the

responsibility of the reverse sweep away from the 3ST. This serves to

speed up the reverse sweep rate. In addition, the 3HRV sends out

reverse ingress/noise information with every update of its forward

telemetry, so reverse telemetry need not be received in order to check

the reverse ingress condition. In addition, the 3HRV allows up to 10

users to sweep the reverse path simultaneously.

MODEL 3SR

1-2

The 3SR Receiver, in addition to performing its sweep reception

duties, conducts a battery of signal level measurements, including a

full scan of the cable spectrum to 1 GHz. A proprietary digital signal

processing (DSP) technique is used to measure hum and carrier to

noise on modulated carriers.

The 3SR Receiver is a full-featured signal analysis meter, with a

complete spectrum display and an analog representation of single

channel measurement data. When tuned to a specific channel, a

comprehensive set of information is provided: tuned channel, video

frequency and level, audio frequency and level, the difference

between video and audio carrier levels.

The 3SR Receiver is a streamlined, hand-held instrument, that

weighs less than five pounds. Its 320 X 240 dot matrix LCD shows

measurement data in both graphical and numerical form.
