EXAMPLE 3
You successfully range with the CMTS. Results show that the
CMTS instructed the DSAM to transmit a QSPK carrier and the suc-
cessful transmit level is 42 dBmV. The LEVEL Headroom shown is
the maximum specified level for QSPK of 58 - 42 = 16 dB. Since 16
dB is greater than the 5 dB limit, the measurement passes.
