Introduction: Analogue Measurements

A major consideration when planning a qualification strategy is the deployment of test equipment and staff required to perform certain measurements. This section summarises the range of analogue measurements which should be made and categorises them into single-ended, double-ended and bridge mode tests.

  •      Single-ended Tests
    •      Return Loss
    •      Noise
    •      Near End Crosstalk
    •      Longitudinal Balance
    •      TDR Test
    •      Multimeter Tests
  •      Double-ended Tests
    •      Insertion Loss
    •      Far End Crosstalk
    •      Bit Rate Evaluation
    •      Interruptions
  •      Bridge-connected Tests
    •      Noise Immunity
    •      Power Spectral Density
