Error Term Descriptions
The error term descriptions in this section include the following information:
• significance of each error term
• typical results following a full 2-port error-correction
• guidelines to interpret each error term
The same description applies to both the forward (F) and reverse (R) terms. Reverse terms
do not apply to the 8753ET.
