SDA-5000 SERIES STEALTH DIGITAL ANALYZER
7
Provides the right solution for varying network needs
The SDA Series includes three models with multiple extra options ensuring that
all testing needs, from portable in-the-field hub testing to rack-mounted, headend
or hub requirements are catered to. The three models are also designed to
interoperate with earlier JDSU Stealth models.
Field usage is covered by the SDA-5000. The SDA-5000 can be tailored with
various options to meet the most demanding forward and reverse sweep needs.
Headend/hub usage is covered by the SDA-5500 and SDA-5510. The SDA-5500
provides forward sweep and single-user reverse sweep while the SDA-5510
provide multi-user reverse sweep. Full forward and reverse sweep alignment can
be achieved by using the SDA-5510 in conjunction with the model SDA-5500
transceiver. The SDA-5510 can also be used alone in remote hub sites for
dedicated reverse alignment applications.
For networks that do not provide a practical location to install a rack mounted
SDA-5510, (that is, systems where reverse traffic is received by an ATM/
SONET/SDH network rather than returning to the headend) the SDA-5000 with
option 6 provides all the functionality of the SDA-5510, (Note: forward sweep
capability is not included with SDA-5000 with option 6).
Stealth Sweep compatibility
Depth of modulation
In-service “HUM” (PAL and NTSC compatible)
The SDA Series is completely sweep compatible with Stealth 3SR, 3ST, 3HRV, and
StealthTrak SSA-1000 Series instruments. The only requirement is that Firmware
version 9.3 is installed in Stealth instruments, and Firmware version 2.0 installed
in StealthTrak SSA-1000 instruments. To take full advantage of the faster forward
sweep capability, all headend and field instruments must be SDA Series.
Upgrading from Stealth to SDA
The JDSU upgrade program is designed to protect customers’ investments in test
equipment. Any model 3SR, 3ST, or 3HRV can be upgraded to the SDA Series at
any of JDSU worldwide service centers, and customers who own a model
SSA-1000 can upgrade to the SDA Series with an in-the-field Firmware change
only.
Detailed forward/ reverse sweep graph offers
adjustable markers, scale, reference level and tilt. Users
can clearly distinguish between previous and current
sweep measurements for easy comparison on PC
StealthWare display
Extensive automated test capability
The SDA Series offers a practical user interface, which normally only requires the
push of a button to operate, and its built-in automation significantly reduces the
cost of ownership to businesses.
Automated tests can be scheduled to perform either 24-hour FCC compliance
tests, or initiated immediately to log performance at individual nodes, amplifiers,
or other testpoints. A wide range of tests can be performed automatically, includ-
ing signal levels, C/N, hum, and depth of modulation. The operator designates
which tests to perform on which channels. Because these tests are non-intrusive,it
is easy to test all parameters on all channels at any time.
