Abstract
A method for calibrating a reflection compensator is provided. A delay is initially set to a predetermined minimum, and an input pulse is transmitted across a transmission line. A compensation current is then applied after the delay. The reflection from the transmission line is digitized to generate a measurement, and a determination is made as to whether the compensation current substantially compensates for the reflection. If the compensation current does not substantially compensate for the reflection, then the delay is adjusted, and the process is repeated until the compensation current substantially compensates for the reflection.
