7. CTB & CSO

Cable TV networks are generally located in densely

populated areas or extend over large geographical

regions. This makes cascading large numbers of

amplifiers a frequent necessity that can be the

cause of quality of service to drop below minimum

acceptable levels.
Composite second order (CSO) and composite

triple beat (CTB) are commonly used quality

parameters that can be measured with the H30

to ensure the best possible quality video for

customers receiving analog signals.
In order to get an accurate measurement of CTB

and CSO, the meter must be tuned to an analog

channel with unmodulated video and audio

carriers. Many operators will choose to leave an

unmodulated channel on the system to allow for

this measurement at any time without affecting

customers.
