Reverse Balancing Procedure
 
Overview  
Baseband digital reverse technology is designed to have a constant link gain, 
regardless of the length of fiber or amount of passive optical loss in the link. That is, 
if the RF signal amplitude of all ports in all nodes is set to a constant value, the signal 
level at the output of the receiver will be balanced automatically to a constant power 
level. Minor differences in levels can be trimmed out at the receiver with no penalty 
to link performance.
