BSS Analyzer (BSSA™)

“Do the best you can until you know better” – Maya Angelou

Now You Can Know Better

Best-source selection (BSS) has traditionally been as much art as science. It improves data accuracy… right? As much as it should? As much as it could? Now you can know. Introducing the Quasonix BSS Analyzer (BSSA™), a unique tool to emulate real-world channel conditions across all received signals in a range, allowing precise, repeatable BSS testing. With the BSSA, you can evaluate the performance of different BSS units or settings, and you can compare results against theoretical best achievable performance. It’s time to take the guesswork out of your mission-critical equipment.

Key Features

  • Flexible Testing — The Quasonix BSSA has 12 independent data generators capable of emulating a multitude of best source selection challenges such as channel delay, Doppler effects, variable bit error probability, receiver sync loss, and more. Twelve PCM I/O and twelve TMoIP I/O are independently configurable as input or output, with the ability to monitor and report results for up to four simultaneous channel groups.
  • Rigorous, Repeatable Evaluation — Tests are precisely repeatable, so it’s easy to make valid comparisons of any equipment across a wide variety of scenarios. Evaluate strengths and weaknesses, focusing on the signal impairments most likely to occur on your range. By including DQE framing with the exact DQM based on dynamic error probability, it’s possible to know with certainty how your BSS is performing not only in the absolute but also relative to theory.
  • System Optimization — The BSSA can help you to test and optimize your own specific BSS parameters, such as those you may be using for receiver data correlation and realignment. Refine and improve your system with no actual data lost.
  • Cost Savings — Whether you already own Best Source Selectors or are preparing to purchase new gear, you can use the BSSA’s results to select the best equipment for your particular needs, ensuring efficient deployment of existing hardware and cost-effective procurement of new.
