  • Patent number: 11916613
    Abstract: The present technology provides solutions that enable accurate measuring of frequency response on a network (e.g., cable network, fiber optic network) through frequency sweep testing. In various embodiments, the present technology provides a remote transmitter test unit that can be physically deployed at various points in a network. The present technology provides for on demand sweep testing. A remote transmitter test unit or headend test unit can periodically transmit a query message and, based on a response to the query message, can initiate a sweep test. The present technology provides for automatic generation of a sweep profile for a sweep test. Based on an analysis of a frequency spectrum on a network, the sweep profile provides parameters for conducting a sweep test. The present technology provides for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) table generation and OFDM sweep testing.

  • Patent number: 11848789
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive a signal. One or more data streams associated with one or more metrics associated with the signal can be determined. The one or more data streams can be sampled to generate data samples. A grade associated with the signal can be generated based on the data samples. The grade can indicate quality of the signal.

  • Patent number: 11784893
    Abstract: A number of channels on an optical network is determined by a device. A size of a display through which a user interface is to be provided is determined. A number of tiles to be included in the user interface is determined based on the number of channels and the size of the display. Each tile is associated with a channel. The user interface including the number of tiles is caused to be provided through the display.
