Measuring the Insertion Loss
To measure insertion loss, you measure the power transmitted through the
DUT, as shown in Figure 107 .
As you have already, in Step 2 on page 182, set the [Ref] parameter to the
power transmitted through the Reference Cable. The displayed power in
dB is equal to the insertion loss.
Set the Front Panel Delta as described on “ Front Panel Delta Calibration ”
on page 181.
