<p>A system for transmission loss comparison permits enhanced accuracy over a wider dynamic range by providing a reference channel including a transmitter, receiver, and transmission path therebetween, and a sample channel, including a transmitter, receiver, and transmission path therebetween. A feedback arrangement is provided for adjusting the outputs of both of the reference and sample transmitters in relation to the signal output of the reference receiver, so as to produce a desired signal level of the reference receiver's output over a given dynamic range, so as to compensate for loss over the reference transmission path. In this way, a comparator connected to the outputs of the two receivers receives inputs that are compensated for effects of losses over the reference transmission path.</p> |
