Abstract

The present invention provides a measurement system and a method of determining characteristics associated with a waveform that compensate for distortion associated therewith. In one embodiment, the measurement system includes a monitoring device that detects distortion in a waveform propagating along the transmission medium. The measurement system further includes a computational subsystem that generates a precompensation signal and precompensation value as a function of the distortion in the waveform. The precompensation value substantially compensates for the distortion when inserted into the waveform as a function of the precompensation signal.
