Dear Readers,
The availability of different signal analyzers is getting
larger and larger. In this issue we are introducing
three more of these products and as you’ve seen by
reading the test reports, these devices continue to offer
more and more functions. This makes the setting up
of a digital reception system a lot of fun regardless of
whether it’s a satellite or terrestrial system.
Why is it that there are more and more signal analyzers
available? The answer is actually quite simple: the
analyzer market continues to grow and grow and grow.
Of course the next logical question is: why is it growing?
There are some obvious reasons such as the cost/
performance of the analyzers. This ratio continues to
grow: either the price goes down for the performance
you get or you get more performance for the price you
pay. But whatever the case may be, it’s becoming more
and more attractive for digital TV friends, even those
who don’t install such a system very often, to go out
and buy a signal analyzer.
But there’s another reason: the technology is becoming
more sophisticated and complex. “Simple” installations,
like those involving only one antenna, one receiver and
a single TV, are becoming fewer and fewer. You hardly
see this anymore. Today installations typically involve
a combination system where, for example, a terrestrial
and satellite system would be installed that also would
include Internet access. On top of this there would
be multiple outlets available and let’s not forget the
SmartPhone that would also need to be able to receive
TV signals.
And it doesn’t stop there. In this issue of TELE-satellite
we are reporting on an entirely new transmission method
called MIS. There are hardly any receivers available for
this new method but this technology has potential and
undoubtedly will be expanded upon. And at some point
the matching signal analyzers would be needed as well.
And of course this guarantees that the signal analyzer
market will grow even more. New transmission and
reception technologies will follow and the complexities
of the reception systems will also increase.
As you can see, the original product group that was
relatively small in size has developed because of all
these technological improvements into a product that
more and more digital TV friends will actually end up
using on a regular basis.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wiese
