Upstream RF Troubleshooting

Group Delay
• From the IEEE Standard Dictionary of
Electrical and Electronics Terms:
Upstream RF
Troubleshooting
Group delay is “the derivative of radian phase
with respect to radian frequency. It is equal to
the phase delay for an ideal non-dispersive
delay device, but may differ greatly in actual
devices where there is a ripple in the phase
versus frequency characteristic.”
