  • Abstract
    Differential mode attenuation in LANs with ring and tree topologies consisting of biconical couplers and connectors or splices is assessed by the mode transition matrix method. Comparing the results to simple addition of manufacturers´ data for restricted launch demonstrates that deviations in a concatenation of up to four 6 dB couplers are tolerable, if component tolerances are small.
