Chapter 11 Coaxial Distribution System Design
11.1 Introduction
Distribution system design is, ideally, the process of specifying the most economical network that will provide the required bidirectional bandwidth to the required number of terminal points and still meet the performance goals. The performance goals, in turn, may be derived from internal quality standards, governmental regulations, the perceived requirements for reliable signal transportation, or all of the above.
Typical system specifications will include noise, distortion, response variation, delivered signal levels (and their stability), and hum. Reliability, another important consideration, is discussed in Chapter 20, and the effects of imperfect impedance matching among components ...
