IBOC measurements (Option IBC)

Option IBC equips the N9340B with in-band on-channel (IBOC) measurement

capability through a dedicated measurement personality and selected hardware

improvements. IBOC technology is a method of transmitting digital and analog

radio broadcast signals (AM and FM) simultaneously on the same frequency.

This HD Radio™ version of hybrid digital/analog technology is the only one

approved by the FCC for U.S. radio broadcast stations.

The IBC option adds enhanced SSB phase noise for IBOC AM measurements

and a noise cancellation process for improved IBOC FM measurement margins.

IBOC-AMcovers 530 kHz to 1.7 MHz and IBOC-FMcovers the 87.5 MHz to

108 MHz frequencies.

Option IBC has built-in FCC and NRSC (National Radio Systems Committee)

spectral emission masks for quick compliance measurements with visual and

audible pass/fail indicators.

N9340B IBC also supports a one-

button auto-tune function that greatly

simplifies the otherwise complex

user setup required to capture and

measure IBOC signals of interest.

The auto-tune function will automati-

cally set the frequency span, RBW,

Average and Detector types, etc. It

only takes seconds for the auto-tune

function to display the correct mea-

surement results.

The included Channel list feature

enables users to easily create and

recall setup and measurement

parameters for single or multiple

broadcast frequencies and channels.

The user no longer needs to spend

time remembering numerous chan-

nel setups but can simply load the

desired channel from the list to start

a measurement. The Channel list can

be loaded, copied and deleted.

N9340B is the industry’s first

handheld spectrum analyzer with a

dedicated IBOC measurement mode.

The option IBC is not available as an

upgrade and must be ordered at the

time of instrument purchase.
