Input impedance and b alance impedance
Input Impedance for a port is the impedance as seen looking into the port from
the tip and ring.
The Balance Impedance is the output source impedance of the port and is
designed to match the impedance of the transmission line plus the far end
trunk.
Return Loss
The return loss measures how closely the input impedance matches the
required impedance (source impedance). Return loss at an impedance
discontinuity in a transmission path is the ratio (in dB) of the power level of
an incident signal to the power level of the resulting reflected signal.
Echo Return Loss (ERL) is a weight ed average of the return loss value ove r
the frequency range of 500 to 2500 Hz.
Single Frequency Return Loss (SFRL) is the lowest value of return loss in the
frequency range of 200 to 3200 Hz.
