PathTrak™ RPM3000
Monitoring Module for PathTrak Return Monitoring System
Key Features
• Quickly and easily integrates with current PathTrak
systems, including HCU400/1500, HSM-1000 and
RPM1000/2000 via field-installable firmware and PathTrak
server, client and WebView server software upgrades
• Measures transient noise as short as 1 µs
• Optimized QAM and spectrum analyzer on every port
• 500 kHz to 85 MHz frequency range—compatible with
DOCSIS® V3.0
• 50 dB dynamic range
• Wide variety of resolution bandwidth (RBW) and video
bandwidth (VBW) filters QAM/QPSK level, MER, and
constellation measurements on individual carriers
• Carrier-to-Composite Noise—in-service ingress under the
carrier on QPSK or QAM carriers
Applications
• Scans 50% faster than RPM2000
• Provides DOCSIS-compliant
measurements for live troubleshoot-
ing and node certification reports
• Provides Web-based access to live
and historical measurements on
every node
• Offers highly customizable
monitoring plans on every node
• Measurements accessible through
the JDSU NetComplete Service
Assurance Solutions and through
third-party or in-house operation
support systems (OSS) with open
data formats
The RPM3000 module is an eight-port, high-speed return path quadrature
amplitude modulation (QAM) and spectrum analyzer optimized for the QAM
and ingress analysis and monitoring functions of the PathTrak Performance
Monitoring System. Each of the eight ports is an independent and isolated test
port. The RPM3000 module switches automatically between the eight ports and
individually measures both QAM and spectrum performance on each. The mea-
surement settings and functions of the RPM3000 consist of all typical spectrum
analyzer settings such as resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, dwell time,
span, marker control, maximum hold, minimum hold, peak search, and zero
span. The RPM3000 provides flexibility to adjust these parameters in monitoring
plans, or provide interactive analysis according to individual preferences.
Fast Scanning—Catches the Most Transient Noise and Ingress
The RPM3000 consists of a single QAM/spectrum analyzer measurement receiver
with eight individual input ports that are switched into the receiver. The overall
measurement speed across ports is optimized through use of an integral high-
speed switch, unique measurement algorithms, digital receiver technology, and
dual digital signal processing (DSP) hardware architecture. In addition, the
RPM3000 is designed with a detector for measuring very fast transient noise,
ingress, and bursty signals. The RPM3000 can reliably detect and measure bursts
of noise as short as 1 µs.
