There are a number of potential reasons causing the interfer- ence including jamming signals, trans- mitter path non-linearity or cross-polar- ization rejection issues. The expense of detecting and resolving the problem can be significant to the broadcaster. Early detection becomes a crucial part of pro- active protection against in-band inter- ference. Whether it is poorly configured sta- tion equipment or accidental interference by another transmitter, signal overlap- ping can result in low SNR (Signal-to- Noise Ratio) and BER (Bit Error Ratio) of a receiver and, eventually, may lead to service interruption and satellite link failure. The situation may even grow into a bigger problem when the "ghost" signal has small amplitude relative to the main signal. In this case, the "ghost" is buried under the main signal and its detection becomes a challenge. Avateq Corp. has developed a state- of-the-art DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technique that makes it pos- sible to analyze the signal structure for detecting in-band interference of differ- ent natures. The technique uses sophisti- cated algorithms to separate the useful signal and underlying noise, under-carri- er "ghost" signal or non-linearity prod- ucts and visualize them on a spectrum plot. This innovative functionality is now a standard feature of AKITIO'S THUNDER3 PCIE BOX WITH INTEL PCIE SSD In a world where transfer speeds are becoming more and more important, Akitio has again taken the lead by offering the Thunder3 PCIe Box with a 1.2TB Intel 750 Series PCIe SSD. This incredible combination now boasts the world's fastest real world file transfer speeds of 2.2GB per second. Akitio has worked hard in the few years that it has been in existence to become a leader in Thunderbolt tech- nology. With more certified Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt2 and now Thunderbolt3 products than other man- ufacturers, Akitio has become a clear- cut leader in this new and exciting technology. Akitio Vice President Richard Wright accredits its success in part to the fact that Akitio's roots are based in the OEM business where its mother company began making storage products almost 25 years ago. The experience that its team of engineers gained in the OEM business has been extremely useful in its current ability to create cutting edge, reliable, premi- um quality storage prod- ucts and acces- sories that are second to none. By incor- porating the Intel 750 Series PCIe SSD into its Thunderbolt3 PCIe box, Akitio has created the first and only product on the market that utilizes the full potential of Thunderbolt3 with a single drive. By comparing the speeds of this new product, you can see why consumers are so excited about what Continued on Page 29 Continued on Page 29 AN INDEPENDENT PUBLICATION NOT AFFILIATED WITH NAB Lee M.
