An abbreviation for the continental United States. A form of interference caused by the modulation of one carrier affecting that of another signal. It can be caused by overloading an amplifier as well as by signal imbalances at the headend. Cross Polarization Term to describe signals of the opposite polarity to another being transmitted and received. Cross-polarization discrimination refers to the ability of a feed to detect one polarity and reject the signals having the opposite sense of polarity Crosstalk Interference between adjacent channels often caused by cross modulation.
Leakage can occur between two wires, PCB tracks or parallel cables.
The group that interfaces directly with customers to answer any questions and deal with problems that arise. A device which stops the flow of dc power but permits passage of higher frequency ac signals. The logarithmic ratio of power levels used to indicate gains or losses of signals. Decibels relative to one watt, milliwatt and millivolt are abbreviated as dBw, dBm and dBmV, respectively. The adjustment angle of a polar mount between the polar axis and the plane of a satellite antenna used to aim at the geosynchronous arc.
