CATV Application of Feedforward Techniques

Several papers and many articles have been written explaining what feedforward is, but little has been presented on just where such technology should be applied. It is not feasible in just any location, due to inherent operational limits and cost considerations. This paper presents the aspects which must be considered when applying feedforward to CATV systems. Analysis of operation in trunk, super-trunk, bridgers, and distribution positions are given. Conclusions are hypothetical since very little hardware currently exists.
