With today’svaried networks, a solution

that can handle cable modems, digital

TVand maintain the analog spectrum

is essential. Putting that solution into

a single, rugged instrumentwillenable

technicians to use it in the most

demanding of situations, whenever

it isneeded.

The Acterna SDA-4040D Stealth Digital

Analyzer is just such a solution.

Detecting and eliminating return path

noise is accomplished with a fast

spectrum analyzer (detectssignals

down to a 5 µs duration), and the

industry-unique Acterna PathTrak

™

Field View option. A zero span spectrum

provides accurate, in-service power

and carrier-to-noise measurementsof

cable modems.

The new QAM View digital analysis

option adds forward path digital signal

testing that includes constellation,

pre/post FEC BER, MER, and an exclu-

sive QAM ingressfeature that reveals

noise under an active carrier. Of course,

analog signal measurements are

addressed with standard features like

RF level, fast-scan, tilt, in-service C/N

and HUM, and FCC and CENELEC

compliant autotesting.

The Acterna SDA-4040D is an ideal

solution for any network. Priced

competitively to ensure that on-site

technicians are fullyequipped with the

equipment they need, the SDA-4040D

will ensure rapid and accurate analysis

of networkturn-up or in-service testing

for fastestreturn on revenue.
