both forward and reverse signals present. This phenomenon may
present itself when performing a reverse noise test using the Stealth
Model 3ST transmitter. To minimize the likelihood of this occur-
ring, the transmitter should be configured such that the video signal
input level is at approximately 0 dBmV. In the event that instru-
ment-related intermodulation occurs, the reverse channel plan may
be set up such that the frequencies at which the intermod products
appear are not included. Unfortunately this eliminates the ability to
monitor the headend for CPD from a field test point. Alternatively,
a Stealth Model 3HRV can be used. This instrument is used for
reverse testing only, and as no forward signals are present on its
input, it is not susceptible to this phenomenon.
