Configuration Sub-System for Telecommunication Systems
First Claim
1. A configuration sub-system, comprising:
- a test signal generator integrated into one or more components of a telecommunication system, the test signal generator being configured to provide a test signal to a signal path of the telecommunication system;
a power measurement device integrated into at least one component of the telecommunication system, the power measurement device being configured to measure the power of the test signal or any other service signal at a measurement point in the signal path traversed by the test signal;
at least one additional power measurement device integrated into at least one additional component of the telecommunication system, the at least one additional power measurement device being configured to measure the power of the test signal or any other service signal at at least one additional measurement point in the signal path traversed by the test signal; and
a controller configured to normalize signals transmitted via the telecommunication system by adjusting a path gain for the signal path based on measurements from the power measurement device and the at least one additional power measurement device.

Abstract
Certain aspects are directed to a configuration sub-system for telecommunication systems. The configuration sub-system can include a test signal generator, a power measurement device, at least one additional power measurement device, and a controller. The test signal generator can be integrated into components of a telecommunication system. The test signal generator can provide a test signal to a signal path of the telecommunication system. The power measurement device and the additional power measurement device can respectively be integrated into different components of the telecommunication system. The power measurement device and the additional power measurement device can respectively measure the power of the test signal at different measurement points in the signal path. The controller can normalize signals transmitted via the telecommunication system by adjusting a path gain for the signal path based on measurements from the power measurement device and the additional power measurement device.
