JDSU SPM-33A

ACTERNA TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
SPM-32A/-33A/-34A/-35A/-36A
Selective Level Meters
Key Features
• For line qualification tests on ISDN, PCM, xDSL, and
measurements on analog transmission systems up to
3.5 MHz
• Synthesizer for accurate, stable frequency settings
• Straightforward operation with large digital display
• Balanced and unbalanced inputs with common standard
impedances
• Battery operation up to eight hours
Manufacturers, service providers, operators, and integrators qualifying copper
lines require high performance instruments that will maximize testing efficiency
and minimize training requirements for technicians.
The JDSU SPM-32A, SPM-33A, and SPM-36A Selective Level Meters are handheld instruments for selective and wideband measurements on FDM transmission
systems with up to 600 channels. When combined with the JDSU PS-33A Level
Generator (2 MHz), each instrument forms a test setup for measuring level, gain,
attenuation, and crosstalk. This test setup is the ideal tool for verifying the local
loop performance of services such as ISDN, PCM, and xDSL. In addition to the
basic functions, the SPM-34A Selective Level Meter also includes four special
bandwidths for in-service measurements of FM-VFT systems, in accordance with
ITU-T recommendations.
With bandwidths all the way down to 5 Hz, the SPM-35A Selective Level Meter is
ideal for analyzing composite signals. The instrument can be used for measurements on ARI and RDS systems, as well as remote control and FM-VFT systems
as per ITU-T recommendations.

Accurate, stable frequency settings
The built-in synthesizer and 1 Hz frequency resolution allows accurate, stable frequency settings across the entire range. This greatly simplifies tuning to pilots
using a narrow resolution bandwidth. The instrument key, with user selectable
step size, is useful for measurements on evenly spaced channels. Fixed frequencies
such as pilots can be stored in the memory to speed up routine tests.
Absolute and relative level measurements
The digital display indicates absolute and relative level with 0.01 dB resolution,
allowing measurements of very small level differences. The fast bar graph is very
useful for alignment work.
Straightforward operation
The display provides a quick overview of all functions currently in use. Other
functions such as frequency scan, AFC, demodulation, setups, and storage of fixed
frequencies contribute to fast and error-free test procedures.
Field application
The instrument is ideal for such field applications as in-service testing and
maintenance, due to its simple operation, wide temperature range, rugged design,
and flexible options for powering – AC line or batteries.
