I.2.b.iii Specifications of the Tuner<br />

To increase the above <strong>de</strong>fined SNIR at the <strong>de</strong>modulator input, the TV tuner aims at<br />

handling large signal swings while being as linear and as low noise as possible. This linearity<br />

versus noise tra<strong>de</strong>-off is called dynamic range in the following. The specifications of the<br />

tuner are presented in Table 1. As said, to be used for cable and terrestrial signals, it has to<br />

cover the 42 – 1002 MHz band.<br />

Specifications are set so that NF has to be kept below 6.5dB for the entire tuner. In<br />

terms of linearity, IIP3 of 11dBm is targeted, which corresponds to 120dBµV on 75Ω<br />

impedance often used for TV context.<br />

Table 1. Tuner Specification Requirements<br />

Frequency Range (MHz) 45 - 1002<br />

NF (dB) 6.5<br />

IIP3 (dBm) 11<br />

IIP2 (dBm) 31<br />

Maximum input Power (dBm) As large as possible<br />
