The Network Structure of CATV Networks
反向系統設計Similar to the design of downlink.Noise Funneling Limit the number of branch and amplifier. Addressable Bridger Leg Switch
前向 --- 反向放大器
CAD ToolsThe traditional way is calculation-intensive and repetitive.Comparison of the CAD tools[Yermolov,2000]
CATV CAD: Gen Enterprise Ltd. Symplex Suite of software: SpanPro Inc. Program System : Lode Data Corporation CADIX International Inc. Cable Tools: Goldcom Inc.
Feature Auto-tracking the signal quality. Helping the design to calculate the network requirement, co
st, etc. The design is still depend on the experience of the network
designer.
Mathematical Formulation and Network Optimization
Basic ideas: formulate the network and using network optimization technique to find the optimal solution.
