Connect the test equipment 

(DUT)

 to the 

TEST

 port of the measuring bridge and measure the reflec-

tion coefficient.  

Note. The reflection coefficient 

S11

 will be displayed in a logarithmic grid with vertical axis in dB. The 

horizontal axis displays the specified frequency range of the signal, figure 74.
