MATV stands for Master Antenna Television.

MATV sys tems allow multiple receivers (TV & FM)

to receive signals from a single (Master) antenna, as

opposed to individual an ten nas for each receiver.

MATV systems are separated into two portions, the

‘Head End’ and the ‘Distribution System’. When

these two portions are planned and engineered

using suit a ble MATV equipment and the

appropriate installation tech niques, signals will

be distributed without loss of signal qual i ty.

Any signal passing through system components,

including the cable, will be attenuated (i.e., have

its level diminished). The level of this attenuation is

important, as it will be a factor in signal quality.

Signal quality within the system is related to signal

level, system noise and headroom. The system needs

to maintain a low noise level and a high signal level.

However, the signal must not be too high, as this can

overdrive the equipment.

In order to simplify MATV design, the relationship

between noise and signal levels is measured

(in Decibels).

DECIBELS

The signal level received on a television antenna is

meas ured in microvolts. Calculations in microvolts are

difficult, there fore MATV calculations are carried

out in decibels.

Decibels are added and subtracted, as opposed to

be ing multiplied and divided. The decibel is 1/10 of

a bel and is derived from a formula originally used by

telephone en gi neers.

The Basics of MATVThe decibel indicates how many times greater or

smaller a quantity is from a pre-established reference

level. The relationship between dB levels is logarithmic,

not linear. Therefore 40 dB is not twice as much as 20

dB, for example:

• 10 dB = 3.2 x reference level

• 20 dB = 10 x reference level

• 30 db = 32 x reference level



In the MATV industry, the zero reference level is 1,000

microvolts measured across 75 Ohms of impedance.

The reference level determines that a minimum

signal of 1,000 microvolts is required to produce an

acceptable picture.

The dB figure is represented as dBmV (a reference to 1

millivolt), or dBµV (a reference to 1 microvolt).

MATV amplifier gains, cable losses, insertion losses

and isolation values are all expressed in dB. To

determine an amplifier output and any system losses,

decibels are added and subtracted.

The minimum signal for a good quality, noise free

picture is typically stated as 0dBmV although most

televisions will work with signals as small as -6dBmV.

Working to the 0dBmV lev el will provide a tolerance

to slight signal variations. The signal level fed into a

television should be kept below 20dBmV. Equipment is

critical to maintain the maximum bandwidth.

The quality and strength of any signal received is

de ter mined by the following:-

• Proximity to the transmission tower.

• Power of the transmitter.

• Quality of the transmission.

• Line of sight to the transmission tower.

• Weather conditions.

• Interference from power lines.

• Directional characteristics and orientation of the an ten na.

• Level of gain of the antenna.

ANTENNA SELECTION

The antenna installation should provide at least 60 dB

or 0dBmV of picture signal per channel at the

amplifier input.

In strong signal areas this will be relatively easy

to obtain. In weak signal areas a larger antenna

with a high gain will usu al ly be necessary. It may

also be necessary to “stack” two or more antennas.

Stacking two antennas will provide an additional 3 dB

of gain above the gain of a single antenna. Al though

a pre-amplifier may be used, stacking before pre-

am pli fi ca tion is preferable, as it delivers a cleaner

signal to the system.

Antenna directivity is important. Directivity is a

measure of how well an antenna will reject signals from

any direction other than the front. The front-to-back

ratio is one way of measuring an antenna’s directivity.

This is the ratio of the amount of signal received by the

front of the antenna to the amount of signal received

by the rear. A highly directional antenna will generally

have a high front-to-back ratio.

MODULATION

For audio and video signals to be transmitted using

only a portion of the available bandwidth, they

are modulated onto carrier signals within a fixed

bandwidth. In Australia, the standard bandwidth is

7MHz, this is known as a channel.

If TVs or VCRs are tuned to a particular channel, it

is not tuned into a single frequency, but a 7MHz

band from which the audio and video information

is retrieved.

For analogue transmission in Australia the vision

carrier is 1.25MHz above the lower frequency for a

given channel’s bandwidth, with the primary audio

approximately 5.5MHz above that. The secondary

audio is approximately 242KHz above the primary audio.

THE MATV HEAD END

The Head End of a MATV system usually consists of an

antenna which receives broadcast signals, processing

equipment to filter the signals and a distribution

amplifier to am pli fy the sig nals to compensate for

distribution losses. Antennas, am pli fi ers, taps, filters

and attenuators are used in this portion of the system.

THE MATV ANTENNA

The quality of TV reception can be no better than

the quality of the signal from the antenna. It is

therefore vital to se lect the correct antenna for the

intended location.

Antenna manufacturers produce geographic maps

detailing preferred antenna types based on the

geographic location. In addition, professional antenna

installers carry test equip ment to optimise antenna

placement and orientation.


Each outlet has a defined amount of signal level

required, and there is a recommendation for maximum

cable runs. Splitters and taps provide the same

signal quality to each outlet, as long as design

recommendations are adhered to.

If there is a poor signal received from the antenna,

this same poor signal will be output to each of the TV

outlets.To guarantee a good signal at each of the TV

outlets, a good quality signal needs to be re ceived at

the antenna.

ATTENUATORS

As there are many signals received by an antenna, there

may be a wide variation in signal levels. In order to

ensure the same picture quality on all channels,

the signal levels may require equalisation to prevent

the stronger sig nals from overriding the weaker ones.

Equalisation is achieved by using attenuators,

which reduce the incoming stronger sig nals by a

specified amount.

Attenuators can be either fixed or variable. They are

either de signed for one specific attenuation level, or

they are switchable so that the signals can be reduced

in increments to the required level.

Attenuators reduce all signals that pass through by

the same amount. Therefore, frequencies that need

reducing need to be separated from the rest of the

signals so that only the strong er signals are reduced.

SIGNAL SURVEY

Determining signal levels is one of the most

important steps in Head-End design and a signal

survey before installing the system will avoid many

potential problems.

An antenna, several sections of mast, a field strength

meter and a portable colour TV is the equipment

required for a sig nal survey. The field strength meter

measures the amount of sig nal received on each

channel. Carefully selected an ten nas can also do

much to overcome certain types of in ter fer ence. The

portable TV allows the quality of the signal re ceived

on each channel to be determined.

MASTHEAD AMPLIFIERS

In weak signal areas, it is often necessary to

amplify the signal before the distribution amplifier.

This will ensure a sig nal of sufficient strength and

acceptable quality. This is achieved using a

Masterhead Amplifier.

It is important to choose a Masterhead Amplifier with

a low noise figure. The noise figure of the Masterhead

Amplifier establishes the noise figure of the entire

system, therefore the amplifier should always increase

the signal more than it increases the noise.

MATV DISTRIBUTION

A well-designed distribution system is necessary

to guar an tee an adequate signal at every receiver

connected to the sys tem. The distribution of MATV is

the role of a combination of splitters and taps.

Splitters and taps provide a pre de ter mined signal

level and maintain the correct impedance to each

of the outputs. Calculation of losses as so ci at ed with

splitters, drop taps and cable are required.

7

AMPLIFIERS

Amplifiers increase the strength of signals

received to a lev el greater than the losses in the

distribution system. The amplifier gain determines the

level of signal increase, which should be high enough

to provide an acceptable signal level to all tel e vi sions

in the system.

Although an amplifier’s gain is important, the

output ca pa bil i ty is just as important. The amplifier’s

specifications should be checked to ensure that the

output level is sufficient to feed the system and that

the strength of the input signal plus the gain of the

am pli fi er doesn’t exceed the amplifiers rated out put

ca pa bil i ty. Ex ceed ing the output capability will result

in over load ing, cross modulation distortion, and

overall sig nal de te ri o ra tion.

System Loss esCABLE LOSS

A certain amount of signal will be lost as it travels

through coaxial cable. This loss depends on the

type of cable used and the frequency of the signal

being carried.

Losses are greater at higher frequencies, the greatest

loss occurring at channel 69 in UHF/VHF systems. The

cable loss should always be calculated at the highest

frequency re ceived or the highest frequency to be

received in the fu ture.

SPLIT TER LOSS

When a two-way splitter is inserted in-line, the signal

in each leg will be approximately 3.5 dBuV less than

that of the main line. If a 4-way splitter is inserted in-

line, the signal in each leg is 6.5 dBuV less than that in

the main line. The signal sent to each branch of the

system will be equal to the signal sent into the

splitter minus the splitter loss. That is, an input of

70 dBuV into a 2-way splitter will deliver a signal of 70

dBuV minus 3.5 dBuV splitter losses, or 66.5 dBuV to

each branch of the Sys tem.

INSERTION LOSS

All tap-off devices inserted into the distribution system

create signal loss. This type of loss is called insertion

loss, (some times called feed-through loss). On the

line, the insertion loss of each tap-off is subtracted

from the signal carried by that line. When estimating

total system losses, the insertion loss of each unit is

added together to find the total in ser tion loss for that

system. For example, if there are 10 tap-offs on the

line, and each tap-off has an insertion loss of 0.5 dB,

the total insertion loss is 5 dB.

For initial calculation, the tap-off values and the

insertion loss es are estimated as the output of

the amplifier and will in flu ence the final selection

tap-off values.

ISOLATION LOSS

Each tap-off attenuates the signal by a specified

number of dB to prevent one set from interfering with

another. For example, if there is a 80 dBuV signal in

the line, and a 20 dB drop tap is inserted in the line,

the signal avail a ble at the tap-off would be 60 dBuV.

The 20dB loss is called ‘Thru’ Loss. In com put ing the

total distribution system losses, calculate the Thru

Loss of the last tap-off only. Since the system design

requires a minimum of 60 dBuV to each set, the lowest

tap value should be used. For most MATV tap-offs this

value is either 10 or 12dB.


Interference and Trou ble Shoot ingCROSS MODULATION

INTERFERENCE

Cross modulation interference occurs in Broadband

preamplifiers and distribution amplifiers when one or

more signals (TV Channels) exceed the amplifiers rated

output capability. This causes two or more signals (TV

channels) to beat together resulting in the picture

information of one chan nel appearing superimposed

upon another. This in ter fer ence usually manifests itself

as a windshield wiper effect or as a neg a tive image.

The windshield wiper effect is seen as the vertical

or horizontal framing bars of the interfering channel

appearing on the channel being viewed. The

negative image appears as a superimposed image

in the background of the picture on the channel

being viewed.

Highly directional antennas and the use of

filters and taps to attenuate and control the

offending signals can usually eliminate this type

of interference.

It is always the strongest signal received that causes

the interference and it does not normally show up on

the in ter fer ing channel. The interfering signal may also

be an FM signal or combination of FM and TV signals.

ADJACENT CHANNELINTERFERENCE

Adjacent channel interference is caused by a strong

signal from one channel overriding a weaker signal

on an adjacent channel, producing a “herringbone”

effect. An adjacent chan nel is one, which is next to

another channel. For ex am ple, Channels 1 and 2, 7

and 8, 10 and 11 are adjacent channels. Channels 2

and 3 are not adjacent because there is a 15 MHz band

between them. In addition, channels 5 and 6 are not

ad ja cent because there is channel 5A between them.

This interference can be eliminated by using a higher

gain antenna to increase the weaker signals and by

us ing attenuators to reduce the stronger signals.

GHOSTING

There are three common causes of ghosting:-

• Pickup of reflected signals by the antenna.

• Direct pickup of a signal by the TV or TV lead.

• Poor installation techniques.

Not all signals reach an antenna directly. They can

be reflected by buildings, mountains, or bodies of

water. These reflected signals arrive at the antenna

microseconds after the direct signal. This causes a

second, fainter image to appear on the TV screen,

just to the right of the main image. This is called a

trailing ghost.

A trailing ghost can usually be eliminated by

using a highly directional antenna or by stack ing

antennas. Changing the orientation of the antenna

slightly may also eliminate the reception of the

reflected signal.

A second image appearing to the left of the main

image is called a leading ghost. This is the result of

the direct pickup of sig nal by the TV lead (when using

300-Ohm twin lead or a poor quality 700-Ohm lead),

by the TV tuner itself or by the down lead from the

antenna. ‘Ingress’ is the problem, the use of a Quad

Shielded lead eliminates this problem.

A leading ghost sometimes occurs in strong signal

areas when signal is picked up directly and displayed

mi cro sec onds before the image is picked up by the

antenna. Since 300-Ohm twin lead is unshielded and

can act like an an ten na, it should be removed and

replaced with 75-Ohm coaxial cable. A balun should

be placed as close as possible to the an ten na ter mi nals

and the co ax i al cable connected to the TV set with

a match ing transformer. Overpowering the unwanted

signal can also eliminate this type of ghosting.

Poor installation tech niques can cause ghosting.

If the distribution line installations are im prop er ly

terminated, the sig nal can bounce up and down

the line, causing multiple im ag es. Proper use of

terminators can elim i nate this prob lem at the time

of installation.

Poor crimping of F fittings can cause an impedance

mismatch, and can result in reflected signals in the line.

Us ing a good crimping tool and making sure that

all fit tings and splic es are correctly executed will

help en sure trou ble free op er a tion of a system.


POWER LINE INTERFERENCE

Power line interference is caused by radiation from

a high voltage power line close to the antenna. To

minimise this interference, the antenna should be

located as far away from the power line as possible.

A balun should be used as close as possible to

the antenna terminals to prevent direct pickup

of radiation.

Worn or cracked insulators on power lines can also

cause this interference. If the interference shows up

in ter mit tent ly (especially during wet weather), it may

be due to cracked insulators on the power lines.

CO-CHANNEL INTERFERENCE

Co-channel interference is the result of two stations in

dif fer ent locations operating on the same channel. It

appears on a TV as two different pictures, as though

one were placed on top of the other. The effect can be

minimised by using a highly directional antenna, or, if

necessary, by stacking an ten nas.

CABLE

Video cabling should be cabled with RG-6, quad

shield, 75-Ohm coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is a

con cen tric transmission line. It consists of a central

conductor, a dielectric medium (such as polyethylene)

which fixes the spac ing between the central con duc tor

and an outer shield (such as copper braid or aluminum

foil) and a weatherproof outer jacket (usually PVC).

All Clipsal coaxial cable con nec tions use standard

F-Type connectors for faster, eas i er installation.

Losses in coaxial cable are spec i fied as attenuation per

metre of cable.
