They are optimised for all analogue and digital terrestrial UHF TV system applications with low noise figures and good UHF input and output signal handling characteristics for a large dynamic range. The ‘PRECISION’ models are fully screened to EN50083-2 and suitable for use in either professional MATV or domestic systems. They are designed for mast fixing with the releasable cable tie provided or for wall fixing using the drill out tabs. The snap lock latches and cable guides on the weatherproof outer housing and ‘F’ type RF connectors on the diecast inner housing ensure a quick, easy and precise installation. All models are designed for indoor or outdoor use, and for mounting close to the aerial, requiring +12V d.c. line powering from a +12V d.c. Power Supply Unit such as the single output (MHP1, MHP1/S or MHPL1) or twin output (MHP2) Masthead Power Supply Unit (PSU). For cascaded applications with power consumption greater than 50mA the MHPL1/350 single output high current regulated Power Supply Unit is suitable. The 9dB amplifier with it’s flat frequency response, is ideal for compensating against excessive cable loss in either a domestic or MATV system. The medium gain 13dB gain amplifier provides excellent performance in domestic and all MATV systems. For longer cable runs in either small or larger systems, the high gain 23dB amplifier is ideally suited. The high gain amplifier is also provided with a cascade line power option for extremely weak signal or longer cable run installations. N.B.

The VHF and UHF amplifier products provide the combination of very low noise figures and high output signal handling together with 20dB of gain adjustment correctly located for DTT applications after the input stage. Because of the low noise figures and good signal handling characteristics, all the amplifiers have excellent input and output dynamic range, allowing them to be connected directly to the aerial. Alternatively, if the aerial is some distance away from the main headend distribution amplifier they can be connected via a low gain Masthead Amplifier using the built in selectable +12V d.c. line power option. All the VHF amplifiers can be cascaded, are fully screened to EN50083-2 and are designed for indoor use and require a +12V d.c. regulated power source from the associated PSU350 power supply. System flexibility is assured and costs minimised as both the MATV amplifier and +12V d.c. regulated power supply PSU350 are available as separate replacement items. If a system requires more than one UHF headend amplifier e.g. dual trunk headend feeds to be employed, and the combined d.c. power consumption is less than 350mA at +12V, then an optional 2 way d.c. phono splitter lead is available. For example: A Single PSU350 Power Supply is capable of powering any of the following MATV Amplifier modules/Masthead combinations. 1. Any Maxview 22dB, 32dB or 38dB Amplifier module + UHF Masthead requiring 130mA or less at +12V. 2. Any permutation of 2 x 32dB UHF or VHF amplifier modules + UHF Masthead requiring 50mA or less at +12V using the 2 way phono splitter lead BP4063 (separate PSU for each amplifier can also be used if desired). 3. 1 x 22dB, 32dB or 38dB UHF module + 1 x MAA32V VHF/UHF module + MHA9U/S 9dB or MHA13U/S UHF Masthead (25mA) using the 2 way phono d.c. splitter lead BP4063 (Separate PSU for each amplifier can also be used if desired). N.B One PSU350 is not capable of powering 2 x 38dB Amplifier modules, two separate PSU350’s must be used.

A. VHF AND UHF AERIALS 1. Mount the aerial combination as high as possible with a clear line of sight towards the transmitter. 2. Always place the largest aerial at the bottom, with the smallest at the top. This reduces bending forces and the stresses on the mast and will provide the best mechanical installation. See CAI Codes of Practice for SMATV/MATV Systems. 3. Place the lowest aerial on a mast at least half wavelength distance above the roof of the house. At Band I this distance is 1.6m, at Band 3 80cm, Group A 32cm and 17cm Group D. 4. For multi aerial installations it is essential to maintain a minimum distance between two UHF aerials on a mast in order to minimise interaction between them. See table ‘Recommended minimum distances between aerials’, for further guidance. This does not apply to aerial arrays where two or more aerials of the same type are deliberately coupled together to improve reception problems in more difficult reception areas. If masthead amplifiers are used it may be necessary to increase the minimum distance accordingly.

MASTHEAD FILTERING AND AMPLIFICATION 1. In order to minimise potential pick up, install the aerial combination and coaxial downleads away from mobile radio transmitting aerials or other sources of electrical interference such as overhead signal, telephone or power cables. 2. Use only fully screened masthead filters and amplifiers that comply with EN50083-2. 3. The use of a high rejection masthead bandpass filter such as the MHF series, positioned close to the UHF aerial, before any other amplifiers or filters in the system, will minimise any unwanted out of band interference being picked up by the UHF aerial. 4. If the installation requires a masthead amplifier, for the best results fit the masthead amplifier no closer than 50cm and no more than 1m from the associated aerial. 42 ▲ 5. In very weak analogue signal areas, masthead amplifiers can be cascaded. Ensure that there is a minimum of approx. 10-15m of cable between amplifiers connected in cascade.

DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL DOMESTIC AND MATV INSTALLATIONS INTRODUCTION Before commencing any DTT/Analogue MATV installations or system planning we strongly recommend that the reader is familiar with the essential DTT reception information contained in the following DTG publications: a) R-Book 2: Installing Digital Terrestrial Television - Domestic Systems b) R-Book 3: Installing Digital Terrestrial Television - MATV Systems c) R-Book 4: Installing Digital Television - Integrated Reception Systems The DTT signals are typically transmitted 15-25dB below the power of the analogue signals from the same site, but in some circumstances, the difference in transmitted power level can be significantly greater. N.B. Due to propagation effects etc, the difference in received power levels at the aerial may be higher or lower than the theoretical figures quoted for the transmitter. The importance of correct DTT system planning cannot be over emphasised, the digital levels quoted are correct at the time of compiling this guide. However the levels and C/N may be subject to change. 1. LEVELS The target figures below are taken from R-Book 4 and measured at the Output Plate. Analogue Services Analogue Terrestrial TV FM Stereo Radio Digital Services Digital Terrestrial TV Digital Radio (DAB) Maximum Level dBuV Recommended Level dBuV Minimum Level dBuV 80 74 70 60 60 54 65 70 50 40 45 30 a) If you have not got sufficient signal level or C/N when measured at the aerial output then the installation is not suitable for DTT reception. Either the size of the UHF TV aerial and/or position of the aerial will need to be changed. b) You MUST use a meter specifically designed and calibrated for DTT when measuring DTT levels and C/N. E.g. TDA6UK Terrestrial Digital/Analogue Signal Meter available from Maxview. It is also very desirable to use a meter with a spectrum analyser display in order to check channel flatness and help identify interfering signals, overload effects and so on. Most meters are calibrated to read accurately when connected directly after the aerial. You will need to contact the meter supplier to obtain the correction factors when measuring C/N immediately after a masthead amplifier. c) A useful indication of signal level and signal quality on a channel by channel basis can be obtained by using the set up menu of the DTT receiver. ▲ 43 New Pocket Guide2 8/29/03 4:21 PM Page 43 GENERAL INFORMATION BASIC STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL TERRESTRIAL TV AND RADIO SYSTEMS INSTALLATION ....continued 2. CARRIER TO NOISE (C/N) Analogue Services Analogue Terrestrial TV FM Stereo Radio System Minimum Carrier/ Noise Ratio Noise Bandwidth 625 PAL 1 Stereo 43dB 45dB 5.08MHz 0.18MHz System Carrier/ Noise Radio Noise Bandwidth Less than 23dB 23dB-25dB 26dB and above* Fail** 7.6MHz Marginal** Pass** 1.55MHz Digital Services Digital Terrestrial TV COFDM Digital Radio (DAB) * When carrying out a site test for DTT we recommend that for systems a minimum C/N of 30dB is required. ** The terms fail, marginal and pass indicate the likelihood of a reliable picture. A pass should give reliable, fault free reception. A marginal C/N could produce a reliable picture much of the time, but break up (in the form of blocking) to no picture at all under adverse conditions. Fail indicates at best frequent disturbances to reception, or no service at all. The C/N directly off the aerial can never be improved by adding an amplifier after the aerial, only the system C/N or the C/N at the outlet plate/STB can be improved. Consider the example of a Group C/D DTT signal and an installation with relatively high downlead cable loss. Consider this example: DTT Aerial Level Cable and Flylead Loss STB Level STB C/N 40dBµV 6dB 34dBµV 22.4dB Add 13dB gain 2.5dB NF MHA13U/S masthead near aerial. New figures are now. Level C/N Aerial 40dBµV 36.4dB After M/Head 53dBµV 33.6dB STB Input 47dBµV 31.7dB This calculation assumes that the STB is the 1st unit in the RF chain and that the STB NF = 8dB, DTT bandwidth = 7.6MHz 44 ▲ If the TV aerial is some distance away from the main head-end distribution amplifier then cable losses between the aerial and MATV amplifier will degrade the system C/N. In such situations we recommend the use of a low gain UHF Masthead Amplifier with high signal handling capabilities such as the 13dB Masthead MHA13U/S with 2ch 114dBuV O/P level.

DTT SYSTEM PLANNING AND COMPONENTS Plan the amplifier gains, signal handling and system losses (cable downleads, taps etc.) to achieve the target DTT signal levels and C/N at each outlet plate in the system. One of the best and most cost effective ways to achieve the target levels and C/N at the outlet plate is to use wideband UHF Digital MATV amplifiers such as the MAA range. It is advisable to plan the network step by step as follows: a) Measure the levels and C/N at the aerial. If you have not got sufficient signal level or C/N at the aerial output then the installation is not suitable for DTT reception. Either the size of the UHF TV aerial and/or position of the aerial will need to be changed. b) Check the flatness of each DTT channel using a good spectrum type meter. c) The aerial should have a balun and have good gain and directional properties. d) In adjacent DTT coverage areas where the same channel number is used, it will be necessary to use an extremely directional aerial such as the ALP28W Log Periodic. e) Use grouped equipment if ALL DTT and analogue channels are within the same UHF group. f) Use a high performance fully screened bandpass filter such as the Maxview MHF range after the aerial to remove unwanted out of band signals e.g. mobile radio, Tetra signals etc. g) Reduce the passive system loss either by using lower loss cable or multiple trunk cables with separate amplifiers, this will give improved C/N at the Outlet plates. h) Use lower gain Digital MATV amplifiers designed for DTT systems with low NF that provide BOTH excellent INPUT and OUTPUT signal handling e.g. the Maxview MAA range. i) De-rate amplifiers for more analogue channels using the 10 log (N-I) rule, e.g. for 5 channels de-rate output level by 6dB. j) Use a low gain (<15dB), fully screened high signal handling Masthead to improve system C/N if losses between UHF aerial to headend are significant or if more system gain is required for larger MATV networks. k) Use good quality screened cable that complies with BS EN 50117 for the coaxial downleads and to BS EN 60966 for the coaxial flyleads throughout the installation. l) Typical Coax cable loss in dB/100m at 800MHz for DS81 = 23dB CT/DS100 = 18dB CT125 = 15dB CT165 = 12dB. m)Use fully screened outlet plates and accessories that comply with EN50083-2 n) Install broadband Taps or Splitters that operate up to 2.3GHz, such as the MAT and MAS range. This and the correct coaxial trunk cable will help to ensure that the MATV system is IRS ready. Do not forget to keep the analogue levels between 60 and 80dBuV at the outlet plate. At some outlet plates it may be necessary to fit an inline attenuator to prevent overloading the STB or iDTV if the analogue TV levels are above 80dBuV. ▲ 45 New Pocket Guide2 8/29/03 4:21 PM Page 45
