COMMUNICATIONS TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
SDA-5000 Series
Stealth Digital Analyzer
Key Features
• Offers unmatched measurement performance for digital video, data, and traditional analog services in a single instrument • Increases the efficiency of service calls and reduces troubleshooting time • Ensures HFC network integrity with the JDSU noninterfering forward and reverse sweep system compatible with today’s digital signals • Enables easy preparation of networks for interactive services with a 5 to 1000-MHz, fast, sensitive spectrum analyzer • Delivers comprehensive testing of forward and reverse digital services including optional QAM analysis • Ensures full in-service proof-of-performance with automated tests • Rugged, weather-resistant, and lightweight
In the world of high-growth subscriber services, engineers and technicians struggle with assignments as diverse as tracking down and fixing ingress, aligning optical nodes, and proof-of-performance. With competitive threats building, cable operators need easy and cost-effective solutions for efficient installation, qualification, maintenance and troubleshooting their HFC networks. The JDSU SDA-5000 Series of Stealth Digital Analyzers provides a lightweight, weather resistant, rugged, and affordable single instrument with the versatility to test the latest digital services as well as the ideal device for maintaining the analog spectrum. The SDA Series provides seamless forward and return path testing as well as advanced digital testing. A host of invaluable extra options such as QAM analysis and PathTrak Field View are available, enabling the SDA Series to be customized for both the cable operator’s network technology level and budget. The SDA builds on JDSU’s market leading RF sweep capabilities with numerous new features that ensure engineers can cope with the changing demands of today’s network. Backward compatibility with earlier JDSU Stealth and StealthTrak Series products build on a company’s existing investment. Automated testing, new “Find and Fix” tools, and easy-to-use graphical user interfaces ensure training time is kept to a minimum. In addition, users familiar with a JDSU Stealth product can transfer their existing expertise to other SDA products without additional training.

Sweep is the right solution
Reverse Alignment mode prepares network for cable modem deployment
The majority of all transmission errors (including digital) are found by measuring the frequency response of the network. Every physical error in the network that influences the transmitted signals will be revealed in the sweep trace. This means the sweep results are independent of transmission methods and formats.
