3.6. Channel Model

A simple in-house coaxial cable wiring configuration is established by assuming three TV connections involving two splitters and four sections of coaxial cables. The configuration is shown in Figure 3.8. As is common for most home networking with in-house coaxial cable wiring, the transmission path between any TV connection points covers an output port-to-output port connection of a splitter. Because the coaxial cable distance is relatively short and the frequency is not very high for the available gap between the reverse channel and TV channel 2, the output port-to-output port connection produces most signal-level attenuation.
