To Prepare the Amplifier for Reverse Path Balancing
Complete the following steps for initial reverse path balancing.
1 Balance all of the reverse amplifiers off a given reverse input port for the

Note: Make sure the reverse fiber link has been properly balanced before
proceeding.
proceeding.
2 Ensure that the design value reverse output equalizer and reverse pads are
installed in the appropriate reverse slots in the amplifier. Refer to the following
diagram.
diagram.
Note: Record the pad values for each input port for later use.
3 Proceed to To Calculate the Proper RF Signal Level (on page 70).
To Calculate the Proper RF Signal Level
In order to calculate the correct RF signal level to inject, you must know the
following.
following.
Design Reverse Port Input Level from the design print
Total Injection Insertion Loss (20 dB)
To calculate the correct signal level to inject, add the total injection insertion loss to
the design port input level.
the design port input level.
Example
Design amplifier reverse port input level = 19 dBmV
Total injection insertion loss = 20 dB
The design amplifier reverse port input level plus injection insertion loss equals
correct RF signal level to inject.
