3.3.2.7 Return Loss

Purpose: To verify that the return loss is above the specified attenuation.

Pass Condition: The reflection of any incident signal to the PHY must be attenuated ≥15 dB over the frequency range of 5 MHz to 10 MHz

Specific Test Setup: Two waveform inputs can be necessary depending on testing setup. Verify the test fixture connections.
