CPE/Router Queries

35
Q

This is the formula for calculating FEC uncorrected percentage

A

uncorrectable codewords divided by total codewords

36
Q

This is the bouncing back and forth of a signal between two interfaces that have an impedance mismatch

A

Micro Reflection

37
Q

This generates an amplitude and phase distortion of signal

A

Micro Reflection

38
Q

This signal distortion can be used to estimate the location of a line problem

A

Micro Reflection

39
Q

This is a non-flat frequency response in which the amplitude versus frequency characteristic of the channel or operating spectrum is sloped or tilted across a specific frequency range

A

Amplitude Tilt

40
Q

These are the most common causes of micro-reflections

A

Unterminated ports, bad connectors, damaged cable

41
Q

These are the most common causes of amplitude tilt

A

loose mainline/house fittings, corrosion, kinked cable, low quality splitters, and water in cable

42
Q

This is observed when all portions of the channel do not arrive at the receiver at the same time.

A

Group Delay

43
Q

This is the most common cause of group delay

A

diplex filter or any filtering mechanism

44
Q

These are three linear distortions

A

Micro Reflections, Amplitude Tilt, and Group Delay

45
Q

These are the “3 D’s” of impedance mismatch

A

Diameter of center-conductor, Distance from center-conductor to sheath, and Dielectric

46
Q

This is both an analog and a digital modulation scheme that converts two analog message signals and two digital bit streams

A

QAM Constellations

47
Q

This is a window of amplitude between the vestigial sideband and the aural carrier

A

In-Channel Frequency Response (ICFR)

48
Q

This is a method of determining the cavity distance between two reflectors measuring signal amplitude deviating up or down in .75 dB increments

49
Q

eTDR

A

Equalized Time Domain Reflector

50
Q

This performs the distance calculations and displays the determined cavity size for echoes in scout flux.

A

(Equalized Time Domain Reflector) eTDR

51
Q

The eTDR, without interpolation, is accurate within this length

52
Q

The eTDR, with interpolation and correct Velocity of Propagation, is usually accurate within this length

53
Q

This can be selected from the drop-down menu just below the node number on the top toolbar of NWT Flux

54
Q

When you enter NWT Flux for the first time, it will default to this view

55
Q

In the NWT Flux map view, you can change the map and theme options from these two default options

A

Signatures and Device Count

56
Q

This happens when a transmitted signal encounters an impedance mismatch, and some of the signal is reflected back onto the transmitted signal causing signals to build up amplitude in some locations and cancel in others

A

Standing Waves

57
Q

This is caused by corrosion or poor grounding, mainly in passives, which can change the passive characteristics and create a tuned circuit; in effect, a filter.

58
Q

This is a very long standing wave caused by a very short reflective cavity and is generally caused by an impedance mismatch within an active device where the source and reflected signals are very strong

A

Frequency Suck Out

59
Q

This is caused by a lack of shielding integrity

60
Q

This is caused by frequency sensitive attenuation or by settings made at actives that cause the signal to gradually rise over the entire spectrum or gradually drop off

A

Overall Tilt

61
Q

Three tests an NCT will perform with their meter

A

Sweep, Leakage Detection, Active Test Points

62
Q

The formula for calculating the distance to the fault causing a standing wave in spectra

A

( Velocity of propagation / Width in MHz between peak or null ) x 492

63
Q

These are corrupted bits of data in the transmission or flow between the CMTS and modem.

A

Codeword Errors

64
Q

This NWT Flux mode simply identifies groups of modems with common signatures. The colors do not indicate the type or severity of a problem.

A
