Power frequency withstand test
Definition:
It is the loss caused by the coupling device and associated coupling
capacitors (assumed as no loss) terminated by nominal line side and
equipment side impedance.
The Nominal Line side Impedances
75ohms Unbalanced or
150ohms balanced
Any other value shall be specified by the purchaser

Definition
It is the reflection of signal power resulting from the insertion of a
device in a transmission line. It is usually expressed as a ratio in dB
relative to the transmitted signal power.
