They all have to do it at a precise given time, i.e 700 ms in the picture. The difference between the network delay and the required transmission time (700 ms in the example) is called the “network delay margin” and it will be different depending on the specific transmitter location. The lower the 'network delay margin' the higher the chances of that particular transmitter missing the assigned transmission time. Receiving and analyzing T2-MI signals T2-MI is the modulator interface signal used in the 2nd generation digital terrestrial television broadcasting system. It is physically transported to the TV towers using IP or RF and it is accessible via network devices in the form of ASI or IP signals. RANGERNeo can receive a T2-MI signal in both these formats, performing IP transport quality measurements, T2-MI packet analysis and PLP de-encapsulation.

  • Highly Sensitive and Selective Field Strength Meter System
    The Utah Amateur Radio Club: Highly sensitive and selective Field Strength Meter system by Clint Turner, KA7OEI Abstract: A field strength meter is a very handy tool for locating a transmitter. A sensitive field strength meter by itself has some limitations, however: It will respond to practically any RF signal that enters its input. This property has the effect of limiting the effective sensitivity of the field strength meter, as any nearby RF source (or even ones far away, if the meter is sensitive enough...) will effectively mask the desired signal. This property can be mitigated somewhat by preceding the input with a simple tuned RF stage and, in most cases, this is adequate. A simple tuned circuit does have its limitations, however: Figure 1: The Field Strength Meter (Mark II) and interconnect cable with the modified Icom IC-2A/T It is only broadly selective. A simple, single-tuned filter will have a response encompassing several percent (at best) of the operating frequency. This means that a 2 meter filter will respond to nearly any signal within to the 2 meter band. A very narrow filter can be tricky to tune. This isn't usually too much of a problem as one can peak on the desired signal (if it is close enough to register) or use your own transmitter (on a nearby frequency) to provide a source of signal on which the filter may be tuned. The filter does not enhance sensitivity, unless an amplifier is used. An obvious approach is to use a receiver. While many receivers have "S-meters" on them, very few of them have meters that are truly useful over a very wide dynamic range, most firmly -1- "pegging" even on relatively weak signals.
