Component Carriers (DVB-S2/S2X)
The Component Carriers parameter group configures a table containing the component carriers available to be included in the aggregate signal.
sets a base frequency that is used with each component carrier's offset value to determine the carrier's absolute center frequency (Absolute Center = Reference Frequency + Offset).
Default: 0 Hz
includes or excludes the component carrier in the aggregate signal.
Default: Enabled (checked)
Choices: Enabled, disabled
displays the automatically assigned component carrier name, "CCn," beginning with CC0 and incrementing by one for each new CC.
Default: CC0
sets/displays the center frequency for the component carrier. Absolute Center is calculated as the sum of the Reference Frequency and the carrier’s Offset value. Since a component carrier's Absolute Center setting is coupled with the Offset setting, changing one setting will change the other setting accordingly.
sets the frequency offset for the selected carrier. The frequency offset is relative to the measurement's Reference Frequency and is used in calculating Absolute Center value. Since Freq. Offset is coupled with Carrier Center, changing one setting will change the other setting accordingly.
Default: 1 GHz Gigahertz: A frequency measurement which equals one billion hertz.
displays the component carrier's symbol rate (Frame Definition tab >Default: 300 MHz Megahertz: A unit of frequency equal to one million hertz or cycles per second.
Acquisition Configuration editor.
displays the channels that have been assigned to the component carrier (that contain the transmission of the component carrier). Only one channel can be assigned to a component carrier. You can make this assignment in theDefault: Ch1
copies the settings of the component carrier to another component carrier, which is selected from the drop-down menu.
creates a duplicate of a component carrier with all settings identical, including Absolute Center, Offset, Symbol Rate and Assigned Channels.
deletes a carrier from the Component Carriers table.
adds a new carrier to the bottom of the Component Carriers table. The initial values are set to defaults. A newly added carrier is included in the aggregate signal (enabled) by default.
