Consumer Electronics Lab Equipment

• CD Optics bench-scale mockup. Optical rail which duplicates the functions of the 3-spot CD focus error and signal readout optics. Includes laser, polarizing beam splitter, quarter-wave plates.
• Vector Signal Analyzer by Hewlett-Packard. This powerful instrument computes real time power spectra over a 0-10Mhz bandwidth. Great for visualizing video signals in the frequency domain.
• New for '96 Tektronix Video signal generator and color vector scope. Generate and analyse color video test signals in both NTSC (North American) and PAL (European) systems. The vector scope gives time domain displays of video lines and fields (like an oscilloscope), as well as the unique vector display in which the color subcarrier (3.58 Mhz) is demodulated and used as the angle of a polar coordinate display great for precision color signal analysis.
• New for '96 Teltone TLS-5 Telephone Line Simulator. Simulates four phone lines including dial-tone, touch tone and pulse dialing among the four lines, caller-id and distincive ringing signals, and adjustable insertion loss. Great for developing, testing, and demoing those telephone/fax related projects.
