Longitudinal Conversion Loss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For reasons of convenience and cost, balanced lines are much preferred in data transmission to [[single-ended wiring]], such as coax cables. Depending on the degree of balance, minimal electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal and pick-up of interfering signals are achieved without complex shielding.

ITU-T, The Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunications Union Recommendation O.9, entitled “Measuring Arrangements to Assess the Degree of Unbalance about Earth” deals with measurements of balance in communication systems.

"Measurement of Conversion Loss in Balanced Systems” provides further information on the subject of Balance to Ground and techniques for its measurement. [1]
