The displayed trace shows the Cable Loss values in one direction through the
cable. A Return Loss measurement would show the loss for both down the
cable and back. Therefore, a Cable Loss measurement is the same as a Return
Loss measurement divided by 2.
The average Cable Loss across the specified frequency range is shown on the
screen below the graticules.
2-Port Insertion Loss Measurements
A 2-port Insertion Loss measurement is used to measure the loss through a
DUT (device under test) – or cable – over a specified frequency range. The
FieldFox signal source is transmitted out the RF OUT connector, through the
DUT, and into the RF IN connector. Both ends of the DUT must be connected
to the FieldFox, either directly or indirectly using the cable used in the
normalization cal.
‘Insertion’ loss simply means
loss
through a device, usually expressed in dB. It
is exactly the same measurement as “S21 Transmission” in NA Mode.
2-port Insertion Loss measurements are generally more accurate than 1-port
Cable Loss measurements.
