CHANNEL PLAN CONFIGURATION
What is a Channel Plan?
A channel plan is a framework of cable network parameters chosen by
the user for his network. The basic entities are:
• Channel format (analog, digital, scrambled, etc.)
• System Bandwidth
• Test Limits (digital and analog)
• Carriers (audio and video)
Why do we need a Channel Plan?
A well thought-out channel plan is necessary for the proper operation
of the unit. This is accomplished by specifying tilt and scan, and
taking full advantage of the Auto Test and Installation Check features
in the WWG instruments. Remember that the WWG instruments are
capable of learning a channel plan from a cable system and storing it as
a built-in plan.
