The Test and Measurement standard for FM

The Modulation Analyzer is a complete Test and Measurement tool, incorporating a multitude of innovative features such as a digital FM demodulator, RF spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, dual channel audio generator, distortion meter, MPX and RDS analyzers and now, also an inbuilt RF Generator.

The inclusion of an RF Generator creates a unique platform that provides all the tools required for commissioning and testing an FM Transmitter in a single 3U box. Any FM signal can be simulated and then fed back into the software suite of the Modulation Analyzer for comprehensive and indepth measurement and analysis.

The Modulation Analyzer can also be used for the control of transmitters, transmitter lines or dedicated FM equipment such as a rebroadcast receiver or encoder.

The unit is available in 3 versions:

Standard version

Supplied either in a sturdy and easily transportable flight case or as a rack mountable unit and provides the basic measurement tools needed for a precise analysis of the FM signal.

Lab Tools Version

The enhanced functionality of the Lab tools version offers:
RF frequency meter, AF distortion meter, AF frequency meter, Pilot frequency meter, RDS frequency meter
Measurement of Crosstalk,  Bandwidth, SNR & THDN Test signal generator, Oscilloscope and Remote access (‘automation’)

RF Generator Version

The RF Generator turns the Lab Tools Modulation Analyzer into a full service platform enabling both the simulation AND measurement of FM signals. The test engineer can select the RF Level, frequency, MPX signal with pre-emphasis and audio sine wave of the signal to be injected into the equipment under test. The analyzer will then conduct a wealth of measurements.
This unique ‘one box’ approach eases the burden for the technician in the field both figuratively and literally.  With just one unit to operate, the training requirements and the likelihood of compatibility issues are greatly reduced and, with just one 3U box to carry, the engineer enjoys a smaller and lighter load!
