provided on the data sheet are binding.
• The values specified in the data sheet are the guaranteed limits.
• Inputs for settings during measurements are shown as following:
[<KEY>] Press a key on the front panel, eg [SPAN]
[<SOFTKEY>] Press a softkey, e.g. [MARKER -> PEAK].

R&S FSHTV-Z60 Adjustment

2 Adjustment

The Preselector R&S FSHTV-Z60 cannot be adjusted manually. The frequency response data of the
bypass path is stored in the preselector EEPROM. The frequency response data of the bypass path can
only be recorded and stored in the EEPROM at a Rohde & Schwarz plant.
The frequency response data of the filter path is stored in the R&S FSH3-TV. The R&S FSHTV-Z60
preselector is equipped with an internal calibration generator to record the frequency response data of
the filter path. For calibration purposes, the R&S FSH3-TV comes with an internal calibration routine. No
additional measuring equipment is required. The calibration routine is started in the FSH3-TV menu
SETUP\HARDWARE SETUP\PRESELECTOR\CALIBRATE. The calibration routine includes testing the
calibration generator, the attenuator as well as the frequency response of the preselector. For further
information, see section Performance Test, Quick Verification.

R&S FSHTV-Z60 Design and Functional Description

3 Repair
This chapter describes the design of the R&S FSHTV-Z60, simple measures for repair and
troubleshooting, and, in particular, the replacement of modules.

Design and Functional Description

The following figure shows a block diagram of the R&S FSHTV-Z60.

2111.7405.82-01.00 3.1
Design and Functional Description R&S FSHTV-Z60

Functional description
The Preselector R&S FSHTV-Z60 improves the dynamic range and the sensitivity of the TV analyzer
R&S FSH3-TV for cable TV applications. In the frequency range up to 1.1 GHz, the received signal is
attenuated by an electronic attenuator, selected by one of four filters and amplified. Due to the
bandwidth reduction in the received signal, the total power at the input mixer is reduced which produces
a significant reduction in the intermodulation products which arise in the R&S FSH3-TV. This results in
an improved dynamic range.
By amplifying the input signal after filtering, the total noise figure is reduced. This results in improved
sensitivity.

Impedance conversion and ESD protection

The received signal is transformed from 75 4 to 50 4. The circuitry is protected from overvoltage.

Cal generator
To calibrate the frequency response in the filter path, the R&S FSHTV-Z60 preselector is equipped with
a 10 MHz comb generator. Control is effected via the TV Analyzer R&S FSH3-TV, see section Control.

Attenuator and preamplifier

The preselector’s filter path contains an RF attenuator which is set depending on the setting for the
reference level and the selected dynamic range.
There is no separate RF attenuator in the preselector’s bypass path. The RF attenuator in the R&S-
FSH3-TV is used for attenuation purposes.
To increase the sensitivity at low receive levels, a low-noise amplifier can be connected after the filter
path as well as after the bypass path.
The following table shows the RF attenuation when the preamplifier is switched off.

R&S FSHTV-Z60 Design and Functional Description

When the preamplifier is switched on, its usage is linked to the setting for the reference level and the
selected signal path so that R&S FSH3-TV is always assured the best possible dynamic range. The
preamplifiers in the preselector and in the R&S FSH3-TV are added on in stages. The following table
shows the settings for the RF attenuator and the preamplifiers depending on the reference level.

16 to 20 dBm 20 dB OFF OFF 30 dB OFF OFF

Tracking filter
In case of filter path is selected the received signal is attenuated by an electronic attenuator, selected by
one of four filters and amplified. The filter bandwidth depends on the frequency.
The following table provides a summary of the bandwidth reduction achieved with the Preselector
R&S FSHTV-Z60.

Frequency range Filter 3 dB bandwidth 10 dB bandwidth

> 108 MHz Lowpass filter 140 MHz 150 MHz

> 108 MHz to < 250 MHz Tracking filter 45 MHz 75 MHz
A 250 MHz to < 600 MHz Tracking filter 75 MHz 120 MHz
A 600 MHz to > 1100 MHz Tracking filter 170 MHz 300 MHz

For measurements over 1.1 GHz and fast sweeps with a wide frequency span, the filter branch is
bypassed completely.

2111.7405.82-01.00 3.3
Design and Functional Description R&S FSHTV-Z60

Control
2
Communication is achieved via I C bus from the R&S FSH3-TV controller.
For calibration purposes the level correction of the bypass path values are stored in an EEPROM. This
EEPROM also contains module-specific information.
By using the comb generator and the calibration routine, the frequency response data of the filter path is
determined and stored in the R&S FSH3-TV. The preselector serial number is assigned to the
calibration data. The R&S FSH3-TV can store the calibration data sets of different preselectors. When
the preselector is connected, the R&S FSH3-TV reads its serial number and checks whether a data set
pertaining to this specific preselector has already been stored. If not, it prompts the start of the
calibration routine. The R&S FSH3-TV controls the calibration; no additional measuring equipment is
required.
When the firmware is updated, the preselector data sets are lost. Calibration must be repeated. The
routine takes approx. four minutes.

Power
The R&S FSH3-TV supplies power to the preselector via the control interface. DC/DC converters
generate voltages of +4.5 V, +30 V and -5 V from the 5 V DC supply.

Shipping of instrument

When shipping the instrument, be sure to provide sufficient mechanical and anti-static protection:

Repack the instrument as it was originally packed. The antistatic packing foil prevents unintentional
electrostatic charging from occurring.

If you do not use the original packaging, include sufficient padding to prevent the instrument from
slipping inside the package. Wrap antistatic packing foil around the instrument to protect it from elec-
trostatic charging.
