Transmission Characteristics
Table 1. 0 dBm0 Voltage Definitions with Unity Gain in X, R, GX, GR, AX, and AR
When relative levels (dBm0) are used in any of the following transmission specifications, the specification holds for
any setting of the GX gain from 0 dB to 12 dB and the GR loss from 0 dB to 12 dB.
Notes:
2. 0 dBm0 input signal, 300 Hz to 3400 Hz; measurement at any other frequency, 300 Hz to 3400 Hz.
3. No single frequency component in the range above 3800 Hz may exceed a level of –55 dBm0.
4. The weighted average of the crosstalk is defined by the following equation, where C(f) is the crosstalk in dB as a function of
frequency, fN = 3300 Hz, f1 = 300 Hz, and the frequency points (fj, j = 2..N) are closely spaced:
5. The End-to-End Group Delay is the sum of the transmit and receive group delays (both measured using the same time and
clock slot).
6. Typical values not tested in production.
