Succeeding in the current economic conditions requires a higher level of productivity from employees at all levels. This is particularly true for cable system operators, which often need to analyze, service and troubleshoot cable networks with a fewer number of technicians than they had previously employed.

A common answer to this predicament is the 8853Q Spectrum Analyzer from Trilithic Broadband Instruments, a longtime leader in the communication test equipment market. The 3 GHz spectrum analyzer has been proven to increase productivity by providing a complete set of tests in a singular device. In addition, the 8853Q model sports an intuitive user interface that shortens the learning curve, making the device particularly useful for a wider array of technicians.

Complementing the analyzer's all-inclusive design is its portable nature, enabling technicians to troubleshoot from anywhere within a given cable network.

"From analysis of digitally modulated signals to tests of distortion and noise parameters in the field, this spectrum analyzer is an industry workhorse," says Trilithic. "The 8853Q introduces a larger display and internal calibration and preselection to meet the precision testing needs of the customer, with a familiar look and feel."

As a high-end piece of communication test equipment, the 8853Q Spectrum Analyzer can be used for in-depth testing, troubleshooting and even FCC (News - Alert) proof of performance tests.

Engineers and head-end technicians can leverage the 8853Q to ensure the quality of a cable signal through a number of analysis and measurement techniques, giving them a significant leg-up on cable workers who need to rely on a number of disparate solutions to amend poor signal quality.

The device is also extremely beneficial to senior technicians, who are frequently called to jobs when lower-end techs are unable to identify and solve a cable problem. Trilithic's spectrum analyzer provides all the alignment, troubleshooting and proof-of-purchase testing functionality necessary to find the source of any technical glitch. The automated FCC proof testing has also been proven to significantly simplify the reporting process.
