A downstream power calibration method comprises the following procedures.
First, select base sampling frequencies and sampling power levels,
thereby generating base sampling signals. Next, input base sampling
signals into a modem such that obtaining each sum of the feedback signals
responding to the tuner and the IF amplifier of the modem by the modem
chip corresponding each said base sampling signal, thereby setting up a
sampling data table. Third, repeat the procedure mention above for a
plurality of modems to get a plurality of sampling data tables
respectively, and then obtain a mean data table. Fourth, select spot
frequencies and spot power levels from the base sampling frequencies and
the base sampling power levels to generate spot sampling signals.
Thereafter, input the spot sampling signals into a cable modem and set up
a skeleton data table. Finally, expand skeleton data table and obtain an
individual default data table for the modem, thereby providing the basis
of the calculation of power levels when the cable modem is receiving
downstream signals.
