KWS AMA 210S<br />
In the old days, a service technician would climb<br />
on your roof together with his signal strengthmeasuring<br />
device and yell down that the signal<br />
was perfectly fine. Although even for the analogue<br />
technology this was in fact not really sufficient,<br />
in most cases it was sufficient back then. However,<br />
in distribution networks and those situations<br />
where integration of terrestrial signals was<br />
involved, it was not professional to do so.<br />
Nowadays, requirements for a measuring device<br />
are much higher and more sophisticated, not in<br />
the least because of the digital radio and television<br />
signals we are facing now. Still, these devices<br />
require a huge investment in money. From KWS<br />
now comes a new analyser, labelled the AMA210S.<br />
It is perfect in more than one way. It is portable,<br />
lightweight and different modules can be added<br />
later, if needed. For example, if you require QAM- or<br />
QPSK measuring, just install the add-on module.<br />
Even for ADR reception, there is a special module<br />
to perform highly accurate test and measuring.<br />
Although we have tested the predecessor of this<br />
AMA210S in TSI before, there are a lot of changes<br />
to be seen with this new portable lab, as we like<br />
to call it. One of the most important improvements<br />
is the much higher power and performance of the<br />
processor. This is very much evident in the time<br />
it needs for calculations. Especially the spectrum<br />
analysis is done much faster than before.<br />
Without any optional module, the AMA210S is<br />
already a very high-performing device accomplishing<br />
the most complex analyses and measurement,<br />
complying with the highest standards.<br />
A printer is built-in for easy hardcopy of any test<br />
result (measuring results as well as the spectrum<br />
analysis). But you will also find a teletext<br />
decoder, RS232 serial PC connection for which<br />
the software is already available, 200 channel<br />
memory, DiSEqC 1.0, a huge memory capacity<br />
to store over 20.000 measuring results and of<br />
course the 64-QAM and QPSK signals analysis.<br />
An umbrella for LNBs<br />
Para Protection from Norway is introducing Para<br />
Protection System, which serves as a kind of<br />
bad weather protection for converters. The unit<br />
is made of transparent plastic and looks like an<br />
umbrella. Fixed onto the LNB tray with two screws<br />
it protects the converter from heavy rain and snow.<br />
“All of a sudden their receiver tuned into a station from Earth...<br />
and they forgot their oxygen would run out in 1 hour...”<br />
