Broadcast receiver having integrated spectrum analysis

Abstract

A receiver for receiving a broadcast channel comprising a spectrum analyzer physically integrated into the receiver and operative to receive an intermediate frequency signal and process the spectral contents of the receive signal.

1 . A system for aligning a radio antenna for a radio frequency broadcast signal, comprising:
 a receiver operable to receive the radio frequency signal and to produce an intermediate frequency signal having a frequency of approximately 800 MHz from the radio frequency signal; and   a remote control unit having a spectrum analyzer and adapted to receive the 800 MHz signal and data signals associated with the bit error ratio and receive level of the radio frequency signal, the remote control unit being further adapted to display a spectral content of the 800 MHz signal.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver is operable to receive a broadcast signal within the 2 GHz frequency band. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver is operable to receive a broadcast signal within the 7 GHz frequency band. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver is operable to receive a broadcast signal within the 13 GHz frequency band.
