How to Build a Complete Analog CATV System

How to Build a Complete Analog CATV System

Description

The whole analog CATV system consists of four core parts: signal source, headend equipment, coaxial transmission network and user terminals.

1.Signal Source: Satellite receiving dishes, terrestrial TV antennas and local program devices such as media players and cameras, which output AV audio & video signals.

2.Headend Equipment: Analog modulators, RF mixers and trunk amplifiers to process all TV signals in the equipment room. Each TV channel requires one analog modulator, and the mixer combines all channel signals into one single trunk RF signal.

3.Coaxial Transmission Network: Coaxial cables serve as the transmission medium. Equipped with trunk amplifiers, splitters and distributors to deliver signals to each room. No optical fiber equipment is needed for pure analog systems.

4.User Terminals: Analog TVs with RF interfaces, no set-top boxes required.

Construction Procedures:

  1. Calculate coverage scale and total number of TV channels;

  2. Wire all source devices to modulators, then connect modulators to mixers and amplifiers in the equipment room;

  3. Lay coaxial trunk cables and install splitters & distributors for each household or guest room;

  4. Adjust signal level with testing instruments to eliminate picture noise and interference.

This analog CATV solution features low cost and easy maintenance, widely applied to small & medium hotels, guesthouses, campuses and residential villages.
