A symbol (essentially a waveform representing one or more bits) should ideally appear as a compact or clean dot in the center of each symbol box.

This can also be a result of laser clipping or sweep interference. Coherent Interference Phase noise - Also known as Phase jitter in a QAM signal, it is caused by transponders in the transmission path or by the I/Q modulator.

  • Page 34: Cable Modem

    CX350 e-Manual D07-00-037 RevC01 Page 34 of 81 Overview: Historic video channel assignments limit the upstream frequencies between 5 - 42 MHz (North America) and 5 - 65 MHz (Europe). The upstream spectrum supporting return path connectivity is frequently impaired by ingress of interfering signals, such as radio citizen band (CB), and other legitimate and non-legitimate RF emissions. Reverse Ingress can be analyzed between 5 to 42 MHz (6 MHz channel plan) or 5 to 65 MHz (8 MHz channel plan).
