Making a Return Loss Measurement

Getting Started with Return Loss

Agilent 81610A/11A/12A/13A/14A Return Loss Module, Fifth Edition

Calibration using the Agilent 81000BR
Reference Reflector

You can use the Agilent 81000BR Reference Reflector to make a

Reflectance Calibration, and a Termination Calibration.

Reflectance Calibration

Use this procedure to calibrate the Return Loss module against a

component of known return loss.

Making sure all the connectors are clean, set up the instrument as

shown in Figure 11 if you are using an External Source,

Figure 11

Reflectance Calibration - External Source

or Figure 12 if you are using an internal source

(Agilent 81611A/2A/3A/4A Return Loss modules only).

For best results and higher repeatability, fix the cable.

Attach a component with a known return loss to the end of the

patchcord.

The Agilent 81000BR Back Reflector is such a component, offering a

return loss of 0.18

0.1 dB.
