Differential results
When measuring differential devices, the network analyzer
displays traces of interest for balanced devices. These include,
differential responsivity S, common mode rejection or port
imbalance.
Since Opto-electronic components are unidirectional, non-
reciprocal devices, only the measurement types circled in Figure
6 are relevant.
