Noise Power Ratio Test Set
The NPRT 2200™ measures the NPR of a device across a range of
power levels.
This test quantifies intermodulation distortion and deter-
mines the dynamic range of optical transmitters, amplifiers and other
active HFC network devices.
The included PC software uses predefined test setups to run a “Power
Sweep” series of NPR measurements and graph the results. The
measurements are compared to a threshold value to determine the
acceptable operating power or dynamic range of the device. Results may
be stored on the PC for further analysis and the graphs may be printed.
The NPRT 2200 inserts calibrated levels of White Gaussian Noise (WGN)
through a Device Under Test (DUT), and then measures the noise level
at a frequency where a notch filter is located.
The NPR is the ratio of the output power without the notch compared to
the power with the notch filter. A graph of NPR versus input power
illustrates the linear dynamic range and intermodulation distortion
characteristics of the DUT.
For HFC Active
Components
he NPRT 2200™ comes in a
compact two-rack unit
enclosure that is well suited for
laboratory and factory ATE
environments.
The NPRT 2200’s low cost
and unsurpassed accuracy
provide an unprecedented
value.
