An alien cross-talk method involves a victim cable and one or more
disturber cables. The method encompasses a transmission of a RF test
signal on each disturber cable between an alien cross-talk test signal
unit connected to one end of a disturber cable and another alien
cross-talk test signal unit connected to the other end of the disturber
cable. The method further involves a measurement of an alien cross-talk
signal generated on the victim cable in response to each cross-talk
coupling of the victim cable and the disturber cable(s) based on the
transmission of the RF test signal(s) on the disturber cable(s). The RF
test signal(s) can be in the form of a RF frequency sweep and the
measurement of the alien cross-talk signal can involve an execution of a
RF frequency measurement sweep for acquiring samples of the alien
cross-talk signal generated on the victim cable.
