ANSI/SCTE 17-2007 Test Procedure for Carrier to Noise (C/N, CCN, CIN, CTN)

An American National Standard. The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). 2007. 15 р. This procedure defines the measurement procedure for determining the ratio of carrier to thermal noise and noise-like interference for broadband telecommunications system components. The test involves measuring the noise levels, or the combined noise plus noise-like intermodulation product levels, relative to the carrier level of a CW signal. The noise contribution of the test equipment is also measured to allow for correction of readings near the test equipment noise floor.
