2.3 INSTALLATION
Proper installation of the Transmitter is essential to correct operation
of the system. The transmitter is typically installed in a headend rack.
There are two different options for setting up the system. One entails
inserting the sweep at a standard combining network input, with a
directional coupler (test point) at the output of the combining net-
work.
Alternately, a directional coupler may be used to insert the sweep at
the output of the combiner. A directional coupler is used to sample
system signals in the headend, and an additional directional coupler is
used to inject the sweep (see figure). The sampling directional
coupler (DC a) may be of any value (dB), but higher values are
typically chosen to limit insertion loss. The sweep insertion direc-
tional coupler (DC b) tap loss must be taken into account when setting
the insertion level of the transmitted sweep signal.
