European IRS Certification Scheme
Association For Audio Visual Professionals
multiple technologies are expected to work in adjacent spectrum bands without causing interference to one another. Similarly, interoperability between receivers and switching equipment is essential to support platform delivery as well as having industry agreed requirements and independent verification of properties such as signalling and power levels being sent between receivers and switches. Therefore, the EICS gives installers, specifiers, distributors and retailers, manufacturers, broadcasters and platform operators confidence that products will perform as intended and are compatible with platform requirements, providing system integrity.
The European IRS Certification Scheme (EICS) outlines a set of tests to verify the efficient use of spectrum by dSCRs and multiswitches as well as interoperability with satellite and DTT receivers, providing an industry agreed test regime for these types of equipment. Currently there are no harmonised standards for satellite launch amplifiers, dSCRs and multiswitches to demonstrate compliance to the Radio Equipment Directive, meaning there is no industry-wide specification to test how spectrally efficient their performance is. Spectral efficiency is a key aspect of a performance and criteria such as isolation, dynamic range, interference rejection, and gain control, all indicate whether a product can perform well in today’s environment where
