1 Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc.
1 Blonder Tongue Laboratories is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of a
comprehensive line of electronics and systems equipment for the
franchised and private cable television industries.
HISTORY
The Company was founded in 1950 by Isaac (Ike) S. Blonder and Ben H.
Tongue. It was in the early days of broadcast TV and they saw a need for
Booster Amplifiers to improve fringe-area reception. They started with
modest beginnings in Yonkers, New York and introduced the first
commercially successful Broadband Booster Amplifier. The company soon
branched out into master antenna system design and other efforts that
earned Ben Tongue some 30 and Ike Blonder 39 patents in the 1960s.
The company grew rapidly and after several moves, consolidated the
operations in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where the company still resides. Ben
and Ike sold their Blonder Tongue stake in 1989 and both still work with the
company engineers as consultants.
Blonder Tongues offices are headquartered in Old Bridge, New Jersey

consisting of a 130,000 square foot facility, on approximately 20 acres of
land.
In December of 1995, the company successfully completed an initial public

offering of shares of its common stock. It is traded on the American Stock
Exchange (AMEX) under the ticker symbol: BDR. The funds generated were
used to acquire the companys Old Bridge facility and reduce the companys
outstanding bank debt.
PHILOSOPHY 1
Blonder Tongues focus has always been and continues to be customer dri- 2
ven. To this end, we have adopted a philosophy of Quality, as defined by the
customer. This philosophy is exemplified by our company slogan, The
Standard Of Quality In TV Signal Distribution Achieving the high
standards we have set for ourselves requires a concerted effort from the
entire organization. We have addressed the issue of quality from two
distinct directions, Product Quality and Service Quality.
PRODUCT OFFERING
Our goal of offering the highest possible Product Quality has helped us in
becoming the largest equipment provider to the private cable market .
Our ability to offer our customers a "one-stop-shop" destination has led to
the creation of a large and diverse product line. The Blonder Tongue
product line can be separated according to function into the following
categories: (1) Headend Products used by a system operator for signal
acquisition, processing and manipulation for further transmission. (2)
Distribution Products used to permit signals to travel to their ultimate
destination in a home, apartment unit, hotel room, office, or other terminal
location. (3) Subscriber Products used to control access to programming
at the subscribers location and to split and amplify incoming signals for
transmission to multiple sites and multiple communication devices within a
site. (4) Microwave Products used to transmit the output of headend prod-
ucts to multiple locations using point-to-point communications links in the
microwave frequency range. (5) Fiber Optic Products providing the latest
option for transmitting and receiving video & data signals. (6) Satellite
Receivers (digital and analog) used at an earth station to downconvert,
process and prepare satellite signals from the leading providers for viewing
and listening. (7) Interdiction Products providing a unique addressable
system for cable television signal protection eliminating the need for set-top
1 converters. (8) Test Equipment comprising a complete array of products
for measuring signals in Headend, Microwave, Interdiction, and
3 Distribution Products.
PRODUCT QUALITY
A complete product family is just the beginning of our commitment to
Product Quality. Our in-house Research and Development department is
staffed by experienced and knowledgeable electrical and mechanical
engineers. They create and completely evaluate all product specifications,
designs and mechanical drawings before they are released to the QC &
Manufacturing process.
Blonder Tongue maintains a quality assurance program which performs

inspection on incoming samples of all purchased parts. For statistical
process control, verification tests are performed and test data is taken
throughout the entire manufacturing process. Test systems are comprised
of commercially available equipment as well as custom in-house built
testing systems that incorporate proprietary procedures. Blonder Tongue
performs final quality control tests on 100% of its products prior to
shipment to customers.
The companys manufacturing facilities are located right here in the US at

the corporate headquarters where virtually all products are assembled by
trained factory technicians. Blonder Tongue prides itself on having total
control over the manufacturing & engineering process without having to
go to off-shore factories. This eliminates costly delays and communication
issues that can occur and reinforces the "Made in USA" motto.
The operations are vertically integrated and they consist principally of the
assembly and testing of electronic assemblies built from fabricated parts,
printed circuit boards & electronic devices. In addition, manufacturing
fabricates chassis & cabinets from raw sheet metal for such assemblies.
1
Management continues to implement a significant number of technological
advances and engineering changes to the manufacturing process to 4
ensure superior performance, increase production volume and reduce
product cost. Some of the recent innovations include: (a) Logistics
modifications on the factory floor, (b) An increased use of surface mount,
axial lead and radial lead robotics to place electronic components on
printed circuit boards, (c) A continuing program of circuit board redesign
to make more products compatible with robotic insertion equipment, and
(d) An increased integration in machining and fabrication.
SERVICE QUALITY
Service Quality at Blonder Tongue is attacked with the same vigor as
product quality. Blonder Tongue provides an extensive warranty with every
product sold, as almost every product is covered for a full 3 years from the
original date of purchase. Telephone technical support for all Blonder
Tongue products is always available during normal business hours at no
charge. Blonder Tongue can also provide 24-hour support and on-site
system engineering for inspection or troubleshooting of field problems.
Our field engineers are available on a scheduled basis for a nominal fee.
Our systems engineering personnel are very experienced in working with

customers constructing systems. They assist them in determining which
products are necessary and provide information leading to the develop-
ment of an effective system for providing the communications capability
required. Blonder Tongue provides system design layouts for customers
that utilize Blonder Tongue products in the system. Preliminary assistance
to determine the quantity and configuration of products is also available.
This service is provided free of charge for the initial design layout.
1 Blonder Tongue also provides custom designed products and/or modifica-
tions to standard products. Because our engineering staff and manufactur-
5 ing facilities are located on-site, we can react quickly to these special
requests and meet the strict delivery schedule our customers demand.
Our sales staff also welcomes bid submittals via our request for proposal
(RFP) program and makes specification sheets available for use in evaluat-
ing these bids. These sheets provide a comprehensive description of prod-
uct specifications for determining proper system use.
Another value added service Blonder Tongue provides is headend fabrica-

tion. Headends are provided, at customer request, completely racked,
assembled and drop shipped to the headend final destination. The cus-
tomer need only unpack, connect the racks to one another, plug into AC
power, connect the antenna feeds to the headend and the RF output to the
distribution system. Complete documentation of the headend design as
well as the distribution system design is provided. Blonder Tongue per-
forms all of the system engineering work, manufactures the headend and
distribution electronics and delivers everything required to completely build
the system. If the customer uses Blonder Tongues VideoMask
Interdiction equipment, this full service program will provide pre-assem-
bled pedestal and/or wall mounted assemblies ready for mounting in con-
figurations for distribution to 1,4,8,12, 16 or 20 subscriber blocks.
The headends and multiple subscriber Interdiction assemblies are factory

pre-tested, burned in and the performance optimized prior to shipment.
The Blonder Tongue warranty on these assemblies is identical to that of the
individual components. The specifications for the final headend and
Interdiction assemblies are also guaranteed to match those measured at
the factory. A guarantee of field performance can also be provided. The
procedure can be expanded to include a headend site survey, additional
on-site system engineering, and a complete field test of the installed sys-
tem at a nominal fee consistent with the complexity of the system.
By providing these large headend and Interdiction assembly building
1
blocks, the required logistics, on-site labor and the personnel are greatly
reduced. Consequently, performance and quality are maximized. 6
TECHNICAL TRAINING SEMINARS
For over 25 years, Blonder Tongue has conducted technical training semi-
nars throughout the United States for installers, engineers and distributor
sales & service personnel. These seminars provide valuable information on
system theory, design engineering, product use and interfacing as well as
technical instruction. All seminars include a full set of course material for
each attendee and are staffed by the Blonder Tongue Regional Sales
Manager and Systems Engineering personnel. In February 1999, we host-
ed our first National Interdiction Users Conference in Houston, Texas.
The conference was hosted by our Interdiction task force team and was a
huge success.
It is through these vast organizational endeavors that Blonder Tongue

OPTION 14 - On Channelock 1
ON CHANNELOCK solves one of the commonly encountered problems
of using an Agile Processor in the On Channel Mode. (e.g. channel 9 12
VHF input, channel 9 VHF output).
The problem being addressed manifests itself as picture flutter, simi-
lar to the effects of signals reflected from aircraft (although it is caused
by a different phenomenon). The flutter most often occurs when the
input signal is from an off air antenna or antenna/preamplifier combina-
tion.
Option 14 is intended to be invoked only when the input is a broadcast
channel 2 - 13 broadcast and the output channel is exactly the same as
the input.
Do not invoke Option 14 for conversions. Option 14 is invoked by
Switch SW2, POSITION 9. Switch SW2, POSITION 9 is found in the
bank of front panel accessible output channel selector switches. Place
Switch SW2, POSITION 9 down to invoke Option 14, up to disable
Option 14.
As a reminder, turn offset adjust potentiometer fully clockwise when
using this processor in the On Channel mode regardless of whether
the processor has Option 14 or not.
When setting up a processor for On Channel operation be certain that
the switches for the output selector are as required for On Channel
operation. Use the following procedure for best results when in the On
Channel mode and when using Option 14.
1 OPTION 14 - On Channelock (continued...)
1. Switch SW-2,
13 (which is the 10 position switch in the output channel
selector window) POSITION 6 and 7 are down,
POSITION 8 is up. (Black bar indicates switch position)
2. Front Panel Offset Adjust Control fully clockwise.
3. Switch SW-2, POSITION 9 is down to invoke Option 14 On.
Move to the up position for Option 14 Off.

1 OPTION 4- Sub Band Output for AM
15 Option 4 extends the output frequency range of an AM60 modulator to
include sub-band channels T7 through T13 . This permits the unit to
be used for sub-band via the return path in a two way system or as a
LAN modulator. All external controls and connectors remain the same
as a standard model. Video and Audio specifications for channels T7
through T13 also conform to standard modulator performance.
RF specifications remain the same except for the following:
SPECIFICATIONS (Typical)
RF Output Frequency Range: All Channels 7.00-445.25 MHz
Spurious Output
T7 - T12: -62 dBc
All Other Channels: -58 dBc

1 Interdiction Products
47 Interdiction technology products from Blonder Tongue are the cable
operators solution to enhance subscriber services, providing a more
user- and operator-friendly system. Addressable off-premise interdic-
tion units eliminate set-top converters from the residence and provide
efficiency, security and control in system operations. The interdiction
terminology comes from the fact that the interfering or jamming signal
is introduced into the premium channel at the subscribers location, not
at the headend as with conventional scrambling systems.
There are three interdiction product lines:
- VideoMask Interdiction (VMI)
- Single Living Interdiction Unit (SLIU)
- Subscriber Module Interdiction (SMI) formerly known as
Scientific Atlanta addressable interdiction system.
For each interdiction product line the following information is provided:
1. General Parts List
2. Specification Summary
3. System Design Considerations
4. Installation Guidelines
5. Unit Activation
6. Troubleshooting
7. Jamming Worksheet

3. VMI System Design 1
VMI
VideoMask Interdiction Units (VMIUs) can easily be 50
accommodated within standard distribution system designs, including both
one-way and two-way architectures. Each VMIU has three (3) plug-in
parameters (directional coupler, equalizer, and attenuator) that can be tailored to
meet the exact system design requirements. The following sections contain the
specifications needed to design a system using VMIUs. Several design rules
and examples have been included for reference.
Architecture
The VMIU plug-in parameters (DC, EQ & AT) are used to modify the incoming
signal levels to match the Interdiction Unit requirements. VMIUs expect signal
levels to be +10/+15/+16 dBmV (50/550/750 MHz) using a 0 dB Directional
Coupler, 0 dB Equalizer, and 0 dB Attenuator. A system block diagram follows.

VMI Directional Coupler
51
A plug-in Directional Coupler (DC) is used to attenuate the incoming
signal to the levels expected by the VMIU. DCs are available in 0, 4, 8,
11, and 14 dB values, with 14 dB being the maximum recommended
value for two-way system designs. This is due to the fact that both the
forward (54 to 750 MHz) and reverse (5 to 30 MHz) path signals incur
the loss of the tap leg of the DC.
In order to minimize the loss incurred by the reverse path, VMIUs
include a plug-in Attenuator (AT). The AT loss is only incurred by the
forward path signals, which allows the total insertion loss needed for
the forward path to be split between the DC and the AT. The Tap
Output port insertion loss is equal to the DC tap value (0 dB = 0 dB
insertion loss). The RF Feeder Input to RF Feeder Output insertion loss
specifications for the DCs are included.

Equalizer VMI
52
A plug-in Equalizer (EQ) is used to equalize the effects of cable
attenuation on the incoming signal. 750 MHz EQs are available in 1 dB
increments from -4 to +20 dB values. The EQ only affects the forward
path signals (54 to 750 MHz). The insertion loss specifications for the
EQ are included below.

VMI Attenuator
53
A plug-in Attenuator is used in conjunction with the Directional Coupler to
attenuate the incoming signal to the levels expected by the VMIU.
Attenuators are available in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, and 18 dB values. The Attenuator only affects the forward path
signals (54 to 750 MHz).
System Design Parameter Calculations
The following design rules are provided to assist both the system designer
and installer in selecting values for the three (3) plug-in parameters.
DC, EQ, & AT - Selecting Values
The values of the Directional Coupler, Equalizer and Attenuator are selected
to provide the desired insertion loss and slope correction to meet the
incoming signal requirements of the VMIU. In general, the Directional
Coupler and Attenuator provide a flat response and the highest frequency
used in the system design should be considered for the selection of the
Directional Coupler (for example, in a 750 MHz design, the insertion loss
value at 750 MHz should be used).
A minimum of 1.5 dB of attenuation @ 750 MHz should be the
smallest value used for the preliminary parameter selection to provide ade-
quate headroom for the final signal level adjustment of the VMIU.
In general, the steps below are taken to determine the three
parameter values:
1. Determine the design frequencies (lo and hi) of the system
2. Based on the incoming signal level to the VMIU, determine the
insertion loss needed in the directional coupler
3. Determine the Directional Coupler tap value
4. Calculate the tilt compensation needed from the Equalizer
5. Determine the Equalizer value
6. Calculate the remaining insertion loss needed from the Attenuator;
adjust the equalizer if the remaining insertion losses are both negative
7. Determine the Attenuator value

needed. Select that Equalizer value with the appropriate tilt compensation.
3. Select minimum value from m lo and m hi and round down to nearest whole number (or zero).
If both insertion losses are negative, then adjust the equalizer to the next lower value and redo
the calculation.

1 4. VMI Installation Guidelines
VMI Directional Coupler, Equalizer, and
57 Attenuator - As Built
After the VMI Unit is installed, the output levels at the subscriber out-
puts should be measured and verified against the VMI Specifications.
The three (3) plug-in parameters can be further tailored in the field to
match the output levels as close to the Specification as possible.
These As-Built values should then be fed back to the system designer
for inclusion on the original system design maps.
Balancing And Alignment Rules
Directional Coupler
1 The maximum value for the plug-in Directional Coupler is 14 dB,
in order to minimize the reverse path insertion loss.
2 VMIUs in direct cascade (RF Feeder Output fed to RF Feeder
Input) should not be configured with a 4 dB plug-in Directional
Coupler in the first VMIU feeding a 4 dB plug-in Directional
Coupler in the second VMIU (remember, the 4 dB Directional
Coupler is actually a two-way splitter). A 0 dB plug-in Directional
Coupler should be used in the second VMIU instead.
3 Do not select a plug-in Directional Coupler that exactly matches
the insertion loss needed. Use 1.5 dB of attenuation at 750 MHz
as a minimum and select a plug-in Directional Coupler based on
the headroom afforded by this baseline attenuation.
4 The plug-in Directional Coupler affects both the forward and
reverse path signals.
5 The plug-in Attenuator affects the reverse path signals only.
4. VMI Installation Guidelines 1
VMI
Equalizer 58
1 VMIUs that are located close to the nearest amplifier may require
a plug-in Inverse Equalizer (4 dB) to compensate for the launch
slope of the amplifier.
2 The plug-in Equalizer should be selected based upon the
tilt compensation needed for the system design. Please note
that the plug-in Equalizer value does not equal the insertion loss.
3 VMIUs in direct cascade (RF Feeder Output fed to RF Feeder
Input) typically require a higher value plug-in Equalizer in the
second VMIU. This is due to the additional slope incurred in the
Directional Couplers installed in both VMIUs.
4 The plug-in Equalizer only affects the forward path signals.
Attenuator
1 Use 1.5 dB of attenuation at 750 MHz as a minimum to
provide headroom for final VMIU setup.
2 The plug-in Attenuator value should be selected based upon the
additional insertion loss needed after equalization plus the 1.5 dB
of attenuation used for headroom.
3 The plug-in Attenuator only affects the forward path signals and
is used in conjunction with the Directional Coupler and Equalizer
to provide the total insertion loss.
1 5. VMI Unit Activation
VMI
59 The VMI unit has factory default parameters that immediately activate
all ports upon initial installation. There are no jamming frequencies
assigned at the factory. This allows the full spectrum of channels to
pass, in the clear, to the subscriber drop port.
The VMIU will pass signal to the subscriber port in the clear until the
iCentral control computer authorizes the unit with the appropriate level
of service. Once you install both the interdiction unit and turn on the
AC, the unit passes RF.
Important!: There is no refresh timer for the VMIU! You must discon-
nect ports which are not assigned to a subscriber with the iCentral!
Key items to remember
Serial numbers and port addresses:
- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure
authorization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The
last 7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the
central control computer uses to communicate to each subscriber
port.
- Make sure the address matches the port used in the installation.
Authorization:
- Make sure the Customer Service Representative (CSR) authorizes
the port address with the proper level of service.

3. SLIU System Design 1
SLIU
68
Single Living Interdiction Units (SLIUs) can easily be accommodated within
standard distribution system designs, including both one-way and two-way
architectures. Each SLIU has three (3) plug-in parameters (equalizer, forward
attenuator (or trim network) and return attenuator) that can be tailored to meet
the exact system design requirements. The following sections contain the speci-
fications needed to design a system using SLIUs. Several design rules and
examples have been included for reference.
Architecture
The VMI plug-ins parameters (EQ , AT, and TN) are used to modify the incoming
signal levels to match the SLIU requirements. The SLIU expects signal levels to
be +10/+17/+18 dBmV (50/750/860 MHz) using a 0 dB Equalizer, and 0 dB
Attenuator. A system block diagram follows.

SLIU Equalizer
69
A plug-in Equalizer (EQ) is used to equalize the effects of cable
attenuation on the incoming signal. 860 MHz EQs are available in 1 dB
increments from -4 to +20 dB values. The EQ only affects the forward
path signals (54 to 860 MHz). The insertion loss specifications for the
EQ are included below.

Attenuator SLIU
70
A plug-in Attenuator is used in conjunction with the external Directional
Coupler to attenuate the incoming signal to the levels expected by the
SLIU. Attenuators are available in 1 dB increments in values from 0 to
18 dB. The Attenuator may be placed in the forward and/or return
path.
Trim Networks
Instead of a forward path attenuator, a trim network (TN) may be used
to compensate for non-linear system response and allow for forward
path balancing. The trim networks are available in attenuation values of
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 dB and response connections of 3 and 6 dB.
System Design Parameter Calculations
The following design rules are provided to assist both the system designed
and installer in selecting values for the three (3) plug-in parameters.
EQ, AT & TN- Selecting Values
The values of the Equalizer, Attenuator and/or Trim Network are
selected to provide the desired insertion loss and slope correction to
meet the incoming signal requirements of the SLIU. In general, the
Attenuator provides a flat response. The Trim Network compensates
for non-linear slope in the AGC range.
1 3. SLIU System Design
SLIU Attenuator
71
In general, the steps below are taken to determine the three
parameter values:
1. Determine minimum input levels based on your system design.
2. Measure RF input levels at Ch.2, Ch. 24 and highest channel

(Ch. 78, 550 MHz).
3. Select appropriate EQ & FW AT/TN components

- If Step 2 measurement same as map design, use map design
value EQ & AT.
- If Step 2 measurement level different from map design, select value
from EQ & AT tables (for full AGC).
4. Measure RF Output
- Verify RF tilt relative to jamming oscillators
- If tilt is incorrect, adjust the EQ appropriately (a higher EQ if the tilt is
too high, a lower EQ if the tilt is too low.
5 AGC voltage at TP5

- 3.1 Vdc (optimum); 3.0 - 3.2 (acceptable).
- If reading is higher, add 1 to original feeder input level (value from
step 2) & choose new Fwd AT.
- If reading is lower, subtract 1 from original feeder input level (value
from step 2) & choose new Fwd AT.
Power Consumption SLIU
72
The SLIU can be powered a number of ways:
1. House powered via 120VAC outlet:
Power consumption 11.8W @ 24VAC (550 mA)
2. Auxiliary or Line Powered:
Power consumption 8.0W @ 60VAC (200 mA)
8.8W @ 90VAC (150 mA)
Below are the power consumptions of the SLIU:
Volts Curr. Watts
24.00 580 mA 11.8
60.00 200 mA 8.8
90.00 150 mA 8.0

Tightening:
- Use a criss-cross pattern to tighten the housing bolts.
- Tighten closure bolts between 5-7 ft. lbs.
5. SLIU Unit Activation 1
SLIU
78
The SLIU unit has factory default parameters that immediately
activate the output port upon initial installation. There are no jamming
frequencies assigned at the factory. This allows the full spectrum of
channels to pass, in the clear, to the subscriber drop port.
The unit will pass signal to the subscriber port in the clear until the
iCentral authorizes the unit with the appropriate level of service. Once
you install both the interdiction unit and turn on the AC, the refresh
timer starts. The factory default is 25 days.
Important!: You must activate the subscriber port within the refresh
timer period or the unit deactivates.
- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure autho-
rization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The last
7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the iCentral
uses to communicate to the unit.
Reverse Path Activation:
- The SLIU is capable of returning reverse signals from a CIU. The unit
supports 5-40 MHz return. In addition to 5-40 MHz return, the unit
also provides independent addressable on/off control of the reverse
path for the subscriber port, when the reverse path switch is enabled by
the iCentral.
1 6. SLIU Troubleshooting
SLIU Key Items to Remember
79
Fault Flags:
- Tamper
- Unit Time Out
- Unit Address
- Calibration
- EEPROM
Fault Action:
1. Disconnect - Full RF disconnect, snow on all channels
2. Jam All Channels - All jammable channels are jammed
3. Pulse Disconnect - The RF has flashes of disconnects with
normal video service
NOTE: The fault action may be changed at any time, and
implemented with a Headend Initialization command
Recommended Configuration
- Fault Flags: Calibration, Tamper (if desired)
- Fault Action: Pulse Disconnect
The pulse disconnect has the following codes to identify which
fault has occurred:
Tamper 1 Flash of Disconnect
Unit Time Out 2 Flashes of Disconnect
Unit Address 3 Flashes of Disconnect
Calibration 4 Flashes of Disconnect
EEPROM 5 Flashes of Disconnect
6. SLIU Troubleshooting 1
Key Items to Remember SLIU
80
Recommended Configuration - continued

- The flashes occur once every 12 seconds (Quick Flash Mode) or
once every 10 minutes (Slow Mode) as defined in the iCentral.
- The Quick Flash mode is optimum if a technician is in the
field checking a unit. The Slow Mode is less punishing to
the customer.
- The LED is on solid when no fault has been detected.
- If a fault has been detected, the unit LED will flash with the
following codes (the same as the RF when in Pulse
Disconnect Mode):
Tamper 1 Flash
Unit Time Out 2 Flashes
Unit Address 3 Flashes
Calibration 4 Flashes
EEPROM 5 Flashes
- Except for the tamper mode, the LED will flash even if the fault
flags are not set in the iCentral.
- If the tamper mode flag is not set, the LED will stay on when
the technician opens the unit.
- The RF will flash only if the flag is set in the iCentral AND the
fault occurs.

3. SMI System Design 1
SMI
Subscriber Module Interdiction Units (SMIUs) can easily be accommo- 86
dated within standard distribution system designs, including both one-
way and two-way architectures. Each SMIU has two (2) plug-in para-
meters (directional coupler and equalizer) that can be tailored to meet
the exact system design requirements. In addition, the SMIU has an
automatic gain control (AGC) with a range of 4.5 dB. The AGCs func-
tion is to maintain the correct RF level relative to the jamming carriers,
despite variations in the feeder level. The following sections contain
the specifications needed to design a system using SMIUs.
Architecture
The SMIU plug-in parameters (DC & EQ) are used to modify the
incoming signal levels to match the Interdiction Unit requirements.
SMIUs expects signal levels to be +10/+16/+18 dBmV (50/550/750
MHz) using a 0 dB DC and 0 dB EQ. A system block diagram follows.

4. SMI Installation Guidelines 1
SMI
During installation, it is important you make the proper electrical connec- 94
tions and ensure the unit closes securely to prevent water damage. We
recommend you review the Key items to remember below during an
initial installation or upon subsequent opening and closing of the inter-
diction housing.
Key items to remember:
Splicing:
- When splicing the hard-line cable into the interdiction housing,
make sure the stinger in the hard-line body connector is cut in
accordance with the appropriate strip guide adjacent to each port
on the housing. CAUTION: Each port requires a different stinger
length.
Tightening:
- Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten each nut, bolt, and connector
according to the specifications listed in the following bullets.
- Tighten the hard-line connector & stinger between 10 ft-lbs & 15 ft-lbs.
- Tighten the seizure block screws between 9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.
Make sure not to tighten these screws until you tighten the hard-line
connector first.
- Tighten the capture screws on the subscriber modules between
9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.
- In an aerial-mounted unit, tighten the strand clamp bolts between
5 ft-lbs and 7 ft-lbs.
- Tighten closure bolts between 5 ft-lbs and 7 ft-lbs in the appropriate
sequence for both the 4-port & 8-port units. See the illustrations
on the following page.

SMI Mounting Configurations SMI
96
There are two mounting configurations available for all 4-port and 8-
port interdiction housings:
Strand-mounted
The feeder cable enters one end of the unit and exits the opposite end.
The unit has two strand clamps with bolts and uses a standard cable
strand for mounting.
Pedestal-mounted
The feeder cable enters and exits the unit on the same end.
Seizure board position can confirm mounting type:
- The seizure board position is determined prior to shipment by the
model code and part number. See Strand-mount illustration
(4-port) and Pedestal-mount illustration (4-port) on the following
pages.
Note: We recommend you not handle the seizure board during
installation. Repositioning the seizure board may affect the SMI units
performance.
Housing position may be modified:
- Notice the housing has hinges on either side allowing you to modify
for easy install. Depending on the type of installation, you may have
to rotate the housing bottom, which holds the subscriber module, to
place the drop-port connections in the best position for cable
routing and maintenance.
SMI SMI Mounting Configurations
97
Feeder Cable Direction:
- The two SMI unit seizure blocks are indicated in the figures below
as J1 and J2. The recommended feeder direction of the SMI unit is
with J1 as the Input Port and J2 as the Output Port 1. When either
RF or AC is being terminated at the unit, the unit MUST have J1 as
the input port (for more information see Balancing and
Alignment). Otherwise, when neither the RF or AC is being
terminated, the SMI units may have J2 as the Input Port if required
for mounting purposes.
NOTE: The directional coupler board is silk screened with an arrow
which identifies the direction of signal flow (from the Input port to the
Output port).

The distribution system design determines the initial selection of DC
and EQ values. The actual feeder levels, however, may be different at
the time of installation. To ensure the unit operates normally despite
variations in feeder levels, it is recommended to balance each unit in
the field using proper balancing techniques.
Remember, the SMI unit has an AGC with a range of 4.5 dB.
Locating P5 jumper:
- The P5 jumper is stored during
shipping in the DC pin holes on the
seizure board. Find and remove this
jumper; then, set it aside to use later. The key steps in
Determining actual signal level: balancing & aligning
the unit are:
- At the feeder input of the
interdiction device, plug a -20 dB 1. Measure input levels

Determining actual signal level (continued):
The minimum input level The minimum input level
for a 4-port unit is: for an 8-port unit is:
17.0 dBmV @ 51 MHz 20.5 dBmV @ 51 MHz
23.0 dBmV @ 550 MHz 26.5 dBmV @ 550 MHz
24.0 dBmV @ 650 MHz 27.5 dBmV @ 650 MHz
25.0 dBmV @ 750 MHz 28.5 dBmV @ 750 MHz
Determining the correct DC and EQ value:
- Use the appropriate DC and EQ reference cards, P/N 570201 for the
8-port or P/N 570202 for the 4-port, to determine the correct values
that correspond to your system design. Contact Blonder Tongue if
you do not have these cards.
The correct DC ensures that proper levels are present at the
input to the AGC network.
The correct EQ ensures you achieve the proper uptilt to match
the tilt of the jamming carriers.
Removing and replacing the seizure board cover:
- Do not remove the seizure board cover until you are ready to move
jumpers.
- Make sure to replace the seizure board cover before you plug-in a
DC and EQ.
101
The SMI unit has a series of jumpers whose position is determined by
the RF and AC status of the unit. The selection of DC determines the
RF status: values 0, 1, 2, or 3 dB are terminating and the remaining DCs
(4-31.5 dB) are non-terminating DCs.

With a non-terminating DC (4-31.5 dB), determine which of the

first three scenarios applies:
1) Scenario 1 - Both Power and RF are required at the feeder output:
Leave both the P1 and P2 jumpers in place on the seizure board.
Discard the P5 jumper.
J1 or J2 = Input or Output
102
2) Scenario 2 - RF is required at the feeder output for the next unit
in the cascade, but there is insufficient AC current to power the
next unit:
Leave P1 jumper in place.
Remove the P2 jumper from the seizure board to block AC from
the feeder output. Another power source must provide AC to the
next unit in cascade.
Discard the P5 jumper.
J1 = Input; J2 = Output.
3) Scenario 3 - The unit is the end-of-line:
Remove P1 jumper.
Leave P2 jumper in place.
Install P5 jumper.
Install a 75 W terminating output connector.
4) Scenario 4 - With a terminating DC (0, 1, 2, 3 dB):
Remove the P1 jumper on the seizure board to prevent AC
current from reaching the feeder.
Leave the P2 jumper in place.
Install the P5 jumper into the appropriate place marked P5 on the
seizure board. Remember, you previously removed P5 from the
DC pin holes.
103
Installing the DC and EQ:
- Plug the DC and EQ into the appropriate places on the seizure
board. The silk-screen arrow on the DC should point in the same
direction as the signal flow.
Measuring the AGC voltage:
- Make sure to measure the AGC voltage at TP 3*. A measurement
between 7.0 V DC and 8.4 V DC indicates the AGC is in the optimal
range.
If the AGC voltage measurement is higher, add 1 to the original
feeder input level values.
If the AGC voltage measurement is lower, subtract 1 from the
original feeder input level values.
Note: You determined the original feeder input values in the
second bullet of this section.
Use the DC and EQ charts, P/N 570201 for the 8-port or P/N
570202 for the 4-port, to select a new DC and EQ value. Plug in
and re-measure the AGC voltage at TP3. Repeat this activity until
you achieve the optimal AGC range.
*Note: To identify TP3, look for the silk-screened reference indicator.
See the Motherboard illustration (4-port) later in this section.
104
Measuring the subscriber module output level:
- Measure the level at the subscriber module output. The level at the
output should measure:
10.0 dBmV 0.5 dB @ 51 MHz
16.0 dBmV 0.5 dB @ 550 MHz
17.0 dBmV 0.5 dB @ 650 MHz
18.0 dBmV 0.5 dB @ 750 MHz

Passing Power to the Home SMI
106
Some 750 MHz SMI units and subscriber modules are capable of pass-
ing 37-90 V AC power to each subscriber port. This capability provides
power to a telephony or data network interface unit (NIU)/customer
interface unit (CIU) such as NORTEL CORNERSTONE or TELLABS...
In order to pass power to the home, you must use a power passing
subscriber module, a 750 MHz housing equipped with a power passing
power supply and have a CIU in place. If you have the first two compo-
nents and a CIU is not in place, power passes directly to the sub-
scribers TV or VCR causing damage.
Important! To avoid damaging the subscribers TV or VCR when no
CIU is in place, use the following table to determine which subscriber
module to install. Your selection is based on which 750 MHz
housing/power supply combination you have.
If 750 MHz housing is You can use...

power supply,
power passing P/N 564265 (without optional
power supply, power passing jumper installed),
or P/N 566024 (no power passing
capability).
SMI Passing Power to the Home
107
The following are some key items to remember about passing power to the home:
If a CIU is not in the home:
- Make sure during installation that power is not present at the
subscriber port. Use the proper 750 MHz housing/power
supply/subscriber module combination so not to pass power.
If a CIU is in the home:
- Power passes from the subscriber port to the CIU, so install the
optional power passing jumper P/N 568839 in the direction
indicated on the subscriber module P/N 564265.
Caution:
If no CIU is present at the subscriber drop,
! do not install a power passing subscriber
module in a 750 MHz housing equipped with a
power passing power supply or severe damage to the subscribers
TV or VCR may result.
Passing Power to Unused Feeder Ports SMI
108
The 750 MHz interdiction housings are capable of passing power to the
unused feeder port. The available port depends on whether the mount-
ing configuration is strand or pedestal.
If you have a:
- strand-mounted unit:
Loosen (J4) seizure block screw.
- pedestal-mounted unit:
Find (J5) seizure block; then locate the hard-line tube
connected to J5 seizure block. Loosen the seizure block screw
located at the opposite end of the hard-line tube from J5
seizure block.
Installing the hard-line connector:
- Make sure you place the hard-line connector (stinger) into the
unused feeder port and tighten between 10 ft-lbs and 15 ft-lbs.
Tightening:
- Make sure you re-tighten the seizure block screw (J4 or J5)
between 9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.
Caution:
! Keep AC power off the feeder cable during

installation of any line equipment.
1 5. SMI Unit Activation
SMI
109 The SMI unit has factory default parameters that
immediately activate all ports upon initial installation. There are no
jamming frequencies assigned at the factory. This allows the full spec-
trum of channels to pass, in the clear, to the subscriber drop port
once you install a subscriber module.
The subscriber module will pass signal to the subscriber port in the
clear until the iCentral authorizes the subscriber module with the
appropriate level of service. Once you install both the interdiction unit
and subscriber module and turn on the AC, the refresh timer starts.
The factory default is 25 days.
Important!: You must activate at least one subscriber port within the
refresh timer period or all subscriber ports deactivate.
Subscriber module installation location and sequence:
- Install the subscriber module into the appropriate port location.
We recommend you install each subscriber module in sequence.
- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure
authorization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The
last 7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the
iCentral uses to communicate to each subscriber
port.
- Make sure the address matches the port used in the installation.
5. SMI Unit Activation 1
SMI
Subscriber modules and port locations: 110
- During an installation, always start with port 1 for the first

subscriber module installation, port 2 for the second module,
and so on.
Authorization:
- Make sure the Customer Service Representative (CSR) authorizes
the port address with the proper level of service.
1 5. SMI Unit Activation
SMI Reverse Path Activation
111
The subscriber module when installed in a 750 MHz housing is capable of
returning reverse signals from a CIU. The subscriber module supports
either 5-30 MHz or 5-40 MHz return. The subscriber module that supports
5-40 MHz return also provides independent addressable on/off control of
the reverse path for each subscriber port.
Activating the reverse path:
- When activating the reverse path for an individual subscriber, make
sure you clip the lead of the 75 terminating resistor located on the
reverse combiner board to allow passage of reverse signals. You will
find the reverse combiner board located directly above the motherboard,
held with two screws, and next to the power supply. Each subscriber
port has a 75 terminating resistor.
- Make sure you plug-in the reverse path cable connector from the
reverse combiner board into the rear of the subscriber module.
Measuring the output level of the reverse path signal:
- Remove the DC and plug in the -20 dB test connector P/N 376602 and
verify return path level (-10.5/14.5 for 4/8 pin unit).
Enabling reverse path:
- Make sure the central control computer enables the reverse path
switch for subscriber module P/N 564265 where appropriate.
Subscriber module removal:
- If you remove a subscriber module, make sure you resolder the lead of
the 75 W terminating resistor located on the reverse combiner board.
All sub modules support 5-30 unswitched passive return except
564265.Part number 564265 supports switched 5-40 MHz return.
6. SMI Troubleshooting 1
SMI
The SMI unit has several diagnostic indicators that provide feedback if 112
there is a failure or someone tampers with the unit. The indicators are
video flashes on the subscribers television followed by a period of dis-
connect. These indicators continue indefinitely until you take the appro-
priate troubleshooting action. The information below lists the diagnos-
tic indicator and the following information about them:
Conditions
Indicators
Subscriber ports affected
Action that resolves the condition
TAMPER--1 flash
- With the tamper feature enabled, a tamper condition occurs when
there is unauthorized entry into the interdiction unit.
This condition:
Affects all subscribers ports
Results in all subscriber ports disconnecting and one flash of
video every 9 seconds
Continues flashing in this disconnect state until the
addressable control computer secures and refreshes the unit
An addressable tamper override function in the central control
computer allows the system operator to override the tamper
condition for authorized entry.
1 6. SMI Troubleshooting
SMI
113
REFRESH TIMER--2 flashes
- The refresh timer condition occurs when the interdiction unit
does not receive at least one valid addressable command within
the refresh timer limit.
This condition:
Affects all subscriber ports
Results in all subscriber ports disconnecting and two flashes
of video every 9 seconds
Continues flashing in the disconnect state until the unit
receives an addressed transaction for one of the subscriber
ports
The refresh timer period is a global system parameter defined from
3 to 25 days. The factory default is 25 days. The central control
computer automatically schedules periodic authorized channel
refreshes to ensure units are addressed at least twice within the
refresh timer period.
VCO FAILURE--4 flashes
- The VCO failure condition occurs when any or all of the five VCOs
within a subscriber module fail self-calibration.
This condition:
Affects only subscriber modules that fail self-calibration
Results in all failed subscriber modules disconnecting with
four flashes of video every 9 seconds
Continues flashing until the VCO passes self-calibration or you
replace the defective subscriber module
The VCO re-calibration period can be set between 1 and 15
minutes. Factory default is 2 minutes.

USEFUL TECHNICAL DATA
The Decibel
The decibel (dB) provides a means of representing large power ratios
2 as manageable, small numbers, and allows the overall gains and losses
1
in a module or a network to be calculated by addition and subtraction,
rather than by multiplication and division.
The original unit is the Bel (named after Alexander Graham Bell). The
decibel is one-tenth of a Bel. The power ratio of two power measure-
ments is calculated as follows:
Ratio of power P1 to power P2, in dB:
dB = 10 log P1
P2
The power ratio of two voltage measurements is calculated as follows:

Power ratio of voltage V1 to voltage V2, in dB:
dB = 20 log V1
V2
Voltage Confusion
dBmV and dBV expressions of power contain an upper case V. This
does not mean they are expressions of voltage. They are expressions
of power. When all the power scales (dBm, dBmV and dBV) are laid
next to each other, it is easy to see that each track on a dB for dB basis
(see section 6; pages 2 and 3).
Power Conversions
dBmV
A power measurement of x dBmV indicates that a particular signal
is x dB greater than (above) 1 millivolt in 75 ohms. A negative 2
dBmV value indicates that the signal is x dB less than (below) 2
1 millivolt in 75 ohms.
To convert x millivolts to dBmV:
dBmV = 20 log (x millivolts)
dBV
Similarly, a measurement of x dBV indicates that the signal is x dB
above one microvolt in 75 ohms.
To convert x microvolts to dBV:
dBV = 20 log (x microvolts)
To convert dBmV to dBV, add 60 to the dBmV reading:
x dBV = x dBmV + 60
dBm
A measurement of x dBm indicates that a particular signal is x dB
greater than (above) 1 milliwatt. A negative dBm value indicates that
the signal is x dB less than (below) 1 milliwatt.
To convert x milliwatts to dBm:
dBm = 10 log (x milliwatts)

Power Conversion (continued)
A power level, in dBmV, can be converted directly to power in dBm, if
the impedance, Z. is known:
2 To convert x dBmV directly to dBm:
3 x
10
dBm = 10 log 10
Z 1000
The inverse operation is also possible if impedance is known:
To convert dBm directly to dBmV:
x
10
dBmV = 10 log Z 1000 10
Impedance Mismatch
It frequently happens that the input impedance of a measuring device
(spectrum analyzer; field strength meter, etc.) does not match the
impedance of the system under test. In such a case, a correction must
be made to the reading displayed on the instrument.
Correction (in dB) = 10 log Zi

Zs
Where Zi is the impedance of the instrument,

and Zs is the impedance of the system under test.

DETERMINING ACCEPTABLE
PEAK-TO-VALLEY DEVIATION
To determine what degree of overall peak-to-valley

deviation is acceptable for the Nth amplifier in a cascade,
use this formula. 3
X (in dB) = N +1 10
10
Where x is equal to the acceptable P-V deviation and,
N = number of amplifiers in cascade.
For example, what is the maximum acceptable peak-to-

valley deviation at the 32nd amplifier in a cascade?
X = 32 +1 = 4.2 dB
10
Thus, 4.2 dB is the maximum acceptable peak-to-valley
deviation (highest peak to lowest valley in the broadband
signal) at the 32nd amplifier.

SYSTEM CALCULATIONS
AMPLIFIER CASCADE FACTOR
The Amplifier Cascade Factor Chart (on previous page) is
used to predict performance considering the contribution of
various numbers of amplifiers. It assumes that all amplifiers
are operated at the same level (input level for noise, output 3
level for distortion). This is generally the case in a Unity
Gain Based System. 12
Example: What is the trunk CTB after 13 trunk amplifiers?
Given: 1 Single trunk amplifier CTB specification is
87 dB @ 32 dBmV flat (from Manufacturers.
specs.)
2 Trunk output is 25 dBmV, channel 2
Trunk output is 32 dBmV, channel 60
(7 dB linear tilt)
Step 1 Re-rate performance of single amp based on
actual operating level.
Geometric tilt center = 28.5 dBmV
Add .5 dB correction factor =
29 dBmV average level
32 - 29 = 3 dB x 2 (for CTB) = 6 dB
87 dB + 6 dB =
93 dB CTB @ 29 dBmV average level
Step 2 Find cascade factor for CTB for 13 amps,
on the chart = 22.28 dB
Step 3 Subtract cascade factor from single amp
operating performance
93 dB - 22.28 = 70.72 dB
CTB = 70.72 dB after 13 amps
SYSTEM CALCULATIONS EXAMPLE
Note: Summing different ratios requires a grasp of the antilog concept.
For brevity, the example shown is for CTB only, but the approach is
identical for all system distortion and noise calculations.
3 Determine End Of Line CTB Given The Following:

13 10 Trunk CTB = 65 dBc
1 Bridger CTB = 60 dBc
3 Line Extender CTB = 58 dBc
-65 -60 -58
20 20 20
Step 1. CTBs = 20 log (10 + 10 + 10 )
-3.25 -3.00 -2.90
Step 2. CTBs = 20 log (10 + 10 + 10 )
CTBs = 20 log (antilog -3.25 + antilog -3.00 + antilog -2.90)
Note: To perform the operations in step 2, use the inverse log or
antilog function on most calculators. Antilog (Inverse Log) is
used to re-express the different exponent values to voltage so the
amounts may be easily summed. Dont forget the minus sign.
-4 -3 -3
Step 3. CTBs = 20 log (5.62 x 10 + 1 x 10 + 1.26 x 10 )
-4 -4 -4
Step 4. CTBs = 20 log (5.62 x 10 + 10 x 10 + 12.6 x 10 )
-4
Step 5. CTBs = 20 log (28.12 x 10 )
CTB = 51 dBc

COMBINING TWO X-MOD OR CTB PERFORMANCE
RATINGS (20 LOG)
USING dB SUBTRACTION VALUES
The 20 log & 10 log derate charts are used 10 Trunk CTB = 65 dBc
to sum different ratios. The following 1 Bridger CTB = 60 dBc
ex.ample demonstrates how:
Line Extender CTB = 58 dBc 3
Step 1 Sum Trunk and Bridger CTB
1.1 Find the dB difference between the two ratios (65-60=5 dB)
16
1.2 Look up the derate (dB Subtraction) for 5.0 dB
difference in the chart (3.88 dB)
1.3 Derate the poorer of the two CTB ratios by this amount
(60-3.9=56.1 dBc)
Step 2 Sum the Sum of Trunk and Bridger from Step 1 with the
line extenders
2.1 Find the dB difference between the two ratios
(58-56.12=1.88)
2.2 Look up the derate (dB Subtraction) for 1.88 dB
difference in the chart (5.12) (round 1.88 up to 1.9).
2.3 Derate the poorer of the two CTB ratios by this amount
(56.12 - 5.12 = 51.0 dBc)
Notice that this answer is the same as that arrived at on page 3.13
COMBINING TWO CNR OR SSO PERFORMANCE
RATINGS (10 LOG)
USING dB SUBTRACTION VALUES
Example:
Combine trunk and bridger CNR to find the resultant CNR at the Bridger
output (no line extenders).
Trunk CNR = 56.5 dB Bridger CNR = 65 dB
dB difference = 65 - 56.5 = 8.5 dB
dB subtraction figure = 0.6 dB
Bridger output CNR = 56.5 - 0.6 = 55.9 dB
So then, the resultant CNR measure is about 55.9 dB.

CURRENT RATINGS FOR ELECTRONIC CABLES
The maximum continuous current rating for an electronic cable is limited by
conductor size, number of conductors contained within the cable, maximum temperature
rating of the cable, and environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and air flow.
To use the current capacity chart, first determine conductor size, temperature rating, and
number of conductors from the applicable product description for the cable of interest.
Next, find the current value on the chart for the proper temperature rating and conductor
size. To calculate the maximum current rating/conductor, multiply the chart value by the
appropriate conductor factor. The chart assumes cable is surrounded by still air at an ambient
temperature of 25 C. Current values are in RMS Amperes and are valid for copper conductors
only. 100

CABLE AND EQUALIZER FORMULAS
1. CABLE LOSS RATIO
The ratio of cable attenuation at two frequencies is approximately
equal to the square root of the ratio of the two frequencies.
Cable Loss Ratio = f1

f2
Example: To calculate the approximate cable loss at 55 MHz

when the loss at 450 MHz is 20 dB,
55
Attenuation (at 55 MHz) = 450 x 20 = 6.99 dB
2. TILT TO CABLE LOSS

of the cable bandpass) to cable loss at the highest frequency:
Tilt (dB) 8

Example: To calculate the cable loss at the highest frequency when
the measured tilt is 12 dB between 55 and 450 MHz

CABLE AND EQUALIZER FORMULAS
3. EQUALIZER LOSS AT ANY FREQUENCY
To calculate the equalizer loss at any frequency, the following formula
may be used:
Loss at f1 = Eq. Value - (( Eq. value x f 1 ) -1)

f2
Example: To calculate the loss of an equalizer for 20 dB of cable at

450 MHz at a frequency f1 of 55 MHz,
Loss at 55 MHz = 20 - ((20 x 55 ) -1) = 14.01 dB

CABLE LOSS AND TEMPERATURE
This equation calculates the percentage of change in cable attenuation
(loss) caused by a temperature change:
% change in cable loss = 1.1% per 10F
This equation calculates the change in cable loss in a span of cable,
expressed in dB.
change in cable loss (in dB) =
standard loss x % change in cable loss
Example: If the standard loss is 22 dB* when the temperature is

70F and the temperature drops to -40F, what is the change in
attenuation for that cable span?
1. Determine the number of degrees of temperature change.
T = T2 - T1 = (-40F) - 70F = (-110 F)
2. Find the percent change in cable loss.
% change = 1% per 10F x (-110F)
8 = (1%/10F) x (-110F)
= - 11%
4
3. Find the dB change in the spans loss.
Change in cable loss (in dB) = -11% x 22 dB
= -2.42 dB
So, if the spans loss was 22 dB at 70F it becomes
22 dB + (-2.42 dB) = 19.58 dB at -40F.
Changes in cable loss accumulate over multiple cable spans and can
cause performance degradation if not controlled by AGC/ASC units.

GHOSTS
Ghosts are duplicates of the reproduced picture located to the right
or left of the picture. Ghosts displaced to the left are generally due
to ingress , for example, direct pick up. Assuming ghosts are not
present in the signals at the headend, ghosts displaced to the right
are generally indicative of impedance mismatches in the system, for
example, devices with poor return loss.
The following will help to find the cause
of a ghost that is displaced to the right.
d
d
X= x (VP) x 25845 ft.
D
D
25845 = constant derived from speed of light x scan time for horizontal line
X = distance in feet between the source of reflection and re-reflection
d = displacement of ghost on TV set in inches
D = horizontal width of TV set in inches
Vp = Velocity of Propagation referenced to free air
Example:
TV screen, D = 24 inches wide
Ghost image, d = 0.16 inches wide
9 Velocity of propagation for cable, Vp = 0.88
3
X = (25845 ft) x (0.16 in) x (0.88) = 152 ft between devices
24 in.
Once distance X is calculated, check the system maps for both (1) the
circumstance where there are devices that are approximately distance X
apart and (2) that the circumstance is between to the signal source and
the location where the ghost is being viewed.

BROADBAND RF NETWORK POWERING
In order to properly design AC powering, several things must be considered:
What AC voltage will provide the best performance / least number
of power supplies?
What AC voltage can the network's active components use for powering?
What are the operating voltages, minimum and maximum,
of all network devices?
Current Draw - Know the product nuances
eg 1. Linear supplies may draw more current when a lower input
voltage tap is selected and vice versa.
2. True switching supplies automatically draw less current for a
higher input voltage and vice versa. Scanning the SMI
interdiction charts on pages 1-65 thru 1-67 should help.
What is the AC current passing capacity of all network devices,
active and passive?
Will any power be required for customer premise devices?
Will additional powering requirements be needed later,
such as RF return amplifiers?
To what percentage of efficiency will you be loading your power supplies?*
* Efficiency rating (how much of the maximum available current to
use). Rule of thumb is an 80% efficiency rating
Will your power supplies have battery backup (standby) and if so, how
much running time will you expect to achieve before battery depletion?
Will you try to locate your power supplies along key locations of the
9 electric company's power grid? Example: If a customer's electric
service goes down, will they still have Broadband signals or can you
9 coordinate the two losses of service?
Will you have special designs such as express feeder, where only
trunk but no distribution plant will have any AC voltage or current
present? (does not allow for powering of subscriber devices).
Will you have separate power supplies for distribution plant to
power short amplifier cascades and interdiction units and/or
subscriber devices? This leaves the power supplies for fiber optic
nodes and trunk amplifiers longer standby run time.
It is best that the current from a power supply is distributed equally to the
'input' side and 'output' side of the power inserter. The reason is that devices
added to one side of the power inserter will not lower the voltages to devices
on the other side. This allows more 'reach' per power supply; more devices
can be powered than if there is a single cable extending only in one direction.
It is critical to remember that an AC power supply is powering devices that
are both upstream (toward headend) and downstream (away from headend).
Adding active devices to a cable increases the total current draw through that
cable, reducing voltages to all active devices due to the IR loss of the cable.
(It is critical to remember that when an additional active component is added
to a cable, voltages and current must be recalculated for every active device
fed from that side of the power inserter.)
Here is a simple powering design using some known quantities. (fig. 1)
1,200 feet
Figure 1
PSA-5998
15 Ampere Capacity
60 VAC
AMPLIFIER 'A'
1. The voltage from the power supply in figure 1 is 60 VAC.

2. Amplifier 'A' in figure 1 draws 1.0 ampere of current. 9
3. The loop resistance of the cable in figure 1 is 1.7 ohms per 1000'.
10
The loop resistance of the span of cable in figure 1 is calculated by
multiplying 1.7 ohms by 1.2 thousand feet to achieve 2.04 ohms.
The voltage drop through the cable will equal 1.0 ampere X 2.04 ohms
or 2.04 volts.
The voltage at amplifier 'A' will be 60 VAC minus 2.04 VAC or 57.96
volts AC.
Adding another amplifier beyond amplifier 'A' has this effect on the
design: (fig. 2)

PSA-5998 A B
15 Ampere Capacity
60 VAC AMPLIFIER 'A' AMPLIFIER 'B'
Figure 2
1. Amplifier 'B' in figure 2 draws 2.5 amperes of current.
The loop resistance of the second span of cable is calculated by
multiplying 1.7 ohms by 1.2 thousand feet to achieve 2.38 ohms.
The current draws of the two amplifiers are added totaling 3.5 amperes.
The voltage drop through the first span of cable increases to 7.14 volts
because the current drawn by amplifier 'B' must also flow through it.
The second span of cable will only carry the current drawn by amplifier 'B'.
The current draw through the second span of cable is 2.5 amperes
(amplifier 'B' only) X 2.38 ohms = 5.95 volts.
9 The voltage at amplifier 'A' becomes 60 VAC minus 7.14 VAC or 52.86
volts AC.
11
The voltage at amplifier 'B' will be 52.86 VAC minus 5.95 VAC or 46.91
volts AC.
A diagram of a more complicated network powering design for one half of
the power inserter is shown in figure 3.

Power Supply Locating Hints:

Basically approach the design by moving from the last active device,
toward the anticipated power supply location.
Begin with the assumption that the minimum voltage plus saftey margin
(start voltage) will be delivered to the last active device.
Use the cable span loop resistance from the last active device to calculate the
voltage drop of the span. Calculate the additional voltage drop for each
additional active device moving device by device and span by span.
Add the current draw from all active devices until each side of the power inserter
accounts for roughly 40% of the total rated power supply current capacity,
while ensuring that the sum of all the voltage drops and the start voltage does
not exceed the power supply rated output voltage. 9
To check the design perform the calculations again, starting at the power
supply and moving away from it. 12
Design system so that the power supplys total current is near the
manufacturers efficiency ratings (roughly 80% of maximum).
Maintain voltages above the minimum active device requirements.
Make sure your power supply locations can be reached easily for
maintenance and repair and can be legally installed.
Plan for new subdivisions. Leave extra powering available for them.
CUMULATIVE LEAKAGE INDEX
Cumulative Leakage Index (CLI), also referred to as a figure of merit
measurement, is a method for assessing the leakage integrity of a
cable plant. The cable operator demonstrates compliance with a
cumulative signal leakage index by showing either that:
10 log I3000 -7 or: 10 log I 64
using either:
n E2 n
1
I3000= i or: 1
I = Ei 2
i=1 Ri
2
i=1
where:
Ri 2 = ri 2 + (3000)2
and where:
r = Distance in meters (m) between the leakage source and the center of the
cable system.
= Fraction of the system cable length actually examined for leakage
sources. The fraction is equal to the strand miles tested divided by total
10 strand miles.
R = Slant height distance (m) from leakage source i to a point 3,000 meters
1 above the center of the cable system.
E = Electric field strength in microvolts per meter (V/m) measured 3 meters
from leak i.
n = Number of leaks found with a field strength 50 V/m.
CUMULATIVE LEAKAGE INDEX
The following formula may be substituted to determine the CLI figure
of merit. Compliance is attained if the formula yields a figure of merit
less than or equal to 64.
Mp n
10 log ni Li 2 64
Md i=1
where:
Mp = Total Plant Miles (miles)
Md = Total Plant Miles Driven (miles)
n = Number of leaks with the same level
L = Level of the leak in microvolts per meter (V/m)
k = Number of different levels
Example: Given the following information about a cable system,

determine the CLI.
Mp = Total plant miles = 1500 miles
Md = Plant miles driven = 1350 miles
Number of leaks and
level of each in V/m = n1 =300 leaks @ L1 = 50 V/m
n2 = 30 leaks @ L2 = 100 V/m
n3 = 3 leaks @ L3 = 450 V/m
Sum of: 2
niLi + 2
n2L2 + n3L32 =
10
(300 x 50 x 50) + (30 x 100 x 100) + (3 x 450 x 450) =
750000 + 300000 + 607500 = 1657500 2
CLI = 10 log (1.11 x 1657500)
= 10 log (1839825)
= 62.65 64

!
This section is a summary of FCC specifications that CATV systems are
required to meet. This section was created so technicians and engi-
neers could have a ready reference at their fingertips.
All specifications in this handbook were taken from Title 47
Telecommunications, part 76.605 from the FCC. It spells out the rule,
standard, number of channels to be tested, frequency of testing, and
equipment needed to perform each test.
The intention of this section is to summarize FCC specifications it is not
intended to replace them. Consult the current editions of all specifica-
tions and regulations for complete and detailed requirements.

AERONAUTICAL OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Frequency Offsets
All carrier signals or signal components carried at an average power
level equal to or greater than 10 -4 watts in a 25 kHz bandwidth in any
160 microseconds period must operate at frequencies offset from cer-
tain frequencies which may be used by aeronautical radio services
operated by FCC licensees or by the United States Government or its
Agencies. The following table summarizes the frequency offset
requirements.
Frequency Offsets
Frequency Band(Standard and IRC Offset Tolerance
118-137, 225-325.6 and 335.4-400 MHz 12.5 kHz 5 kHz
108-118 and 328.6-335.4 MHz 25.0 kHz 5kHz
For Harmonically Related Carrier (HRC) systems, the fundamental fre-

quency from which the visual carrier frequencies are derived should be
a multiple of 6.0003 MHz 1 Hz.

To calculate the wavelength of a signal, or the dipole length, L, or

the frequency, f, of a half-wave dipole antenna, use the following
three formulas:
= kc
f
L= f = kc

ANTENNA - GENERAL INFORMATION
Factors Which Determine The Quality Of Reception:
A) Distance to transmitter
B) Height of transmitting antenna
C) Transmitter power
D) Transmitter frequency (TV channel)
E) Type of receiving antenna
F) Height of receiving antenna
G) Terrain between the transmitter and receiving antenna
H) Obstacles between the transmitter and receiving antenna
(tall buildings, water tower, etc.)
Major Characteristics:
Gain: Indicates the amount of received signal level increase
as compared to reference antenna. (usually a resonant
dipole)
Bandwidth: The range of frequencies (TV channels) over which the
antenna is designed to operate. In principle, there are
two types of antennas:
1) Broadband
2) Single-Channel
Impedance: Home type antennas are usually 300 OHMs and
commercial antennas are usually 75 OHMs.
Pattern: Generally consists of two components, beam width and
front to back ratio. Refer to diagram.
