A Spectrum Analyzer in the Cable Modem – Spectra

The ability to perform a wideband spectrum capture and fullband spectrum analysis from a cable modem can be a valuable tool for cable operators to diagnose and troubleshoot signal impairments at the subscriber’s home. It allows the operator to see all RF signals entering the home from the cable modem, including potential return path noise, which can help to identify the source of the problem quickly.

With the ability to narrow in on specific impairments, such as standing waves, FM noise, adjacent channel interference, and RxMER per subcarrier issues, operators can gain greater visibility and insight into the quality of the signal at the subscriber’s home. This can help to improve the quality of experience for subscribers, reduce truck rolls, and ultimately save time and money for the cable operator.
