| said by usweefive :The attenuation was low due to a bad connection. I would expect an open to raise the attenuation, not lower it. An effective impedance of infinite ohms should provide perfect attenuation. It was my S/N ratio which was low.
I believe the reason the DSL worked into an open circuit is that it operates at an RF freqency, so an extremely short gap, while looking "open" to DC current, still looks like a usable path to AC. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
