Taking Standard Loss Measurements
Measuring the Return Loss
Return Loss Calibration Setup
1
Connect the optical head A to the optical input of the OLA. For
best performance, the connector adaptors HP 81000AI and
HP 81000AA together with the patchcord HP 81102AC are
recommended.
2
The measurement of a reference reflection is required for
calibration.
If your optical output is the fiber pigtail with FC/PC connector,
leave it untouched and open-ended.
If your instrument is equipped with one of the output connector
options, attach the patchcord you are going to use for the device
to it and leave the patchcord open-ended.
