Testing, Measurement and Monitoring for ATSC 3.0 Broadcasting Systems

Originally streamed February 16, 2023

This presentation focuses on the testing, measurement and monitoring of ATSC 3.0 broadcast systems. It provides a brief overview of the IP and RF signal parameters and discuss the “When, Where and How” of testing, measurement and monitoring of signal elements. These elements must be measured and monitored to ensure standards compliance and interoperability with downstream transmission and receiving devices. Hardware- and software-based devices and systems used to test, measure and monitor the signals will be discussed. A live demonstration of the measurement and monitoring of actual “on air” ATSC 3.0 transmission systems with currently available software-based products will be included.
