1. The slope is defined as the difference between the gain at the start frequency and the gain at the stop frequency.

2. 79 analog channels, NTSC frequency raster: 55.25MHz to 547.25MHz, +43dBmV to +50dBmV tilted output level, plus 75 digital channels, -6dB offset

relative to the equivalent analog carrier.

3. 79 analog channels, NTSC frequency raster: 55.25MHz to 547.25MHz, +45dBmV to +52dBmV tilted output level

4. Composite Second Order (CSO) - The CSO parameter (both sum and difference products) is defined by the NCTA.

Composite Triple Beat (CTB) - The CTB parameter is defined by the NCTA.

Cross Modulation (XMOD) - Cross modulation (XMOD) is measured at baseband (selective voltmeter method), referenced to 100% modulation of the

carrier being tested.

Carrier to Intermodulation Noise (CIN) - The CIN parameter is defined by ANSI/SCTE 17 (Test procedure for carrier to noise).
