Abstract
There are many test parameters in the DTV measurement, which uses several test measuring instruments and miscellaneous devices. To operate all of those devices and analyse test results is a tedious and time-consuming process with a high error rate committed by inexperienced test crews. In this paper, we propose an integrated DTV measurement and analysis system(IMAS) that remotely controls and manages any instruments with standard network interface. This system can take, organize, store the field data into an integrated database and easily produce systematic output according to user-defined form. It can also measure several types of digital broadcasting signals such as DTV, DMB, DAB with generalized measurement procedures. Proposed measurement system was applied in the DTV field test by KBS and proved that it could enhance the accuracy and efficiency of entire test sequences and also dramatically reduce measurement time compared to conventional measurement systems.
