Balancing the Forward Path 
Introduction 
Be sure to use the correct procedure for forward path balancing. Refer to To Verify 
the Forward Input Level 
(on page 3-3) for help in identifying the procedure that best 
fits your system installation and amplifier type. Before you begin, make sure that the 
RF module is configured according to the specifications in the design print, and that 
the amplifier has warmed up for approximately one hour. 
The forward section of the GainStar Amplifier performs conversion, amplification, 
equalization and test point functions for the forward path signal.   
To Verify the Forward Input Level 
Complete the following steps to test the input signal level. 
Important: You cannot balance the amplifier without the proper input signals.
