To measure the front panel delta you must measure the power
transmitted through the reference cable,
Transmitted Through the Reflection Reference” on page 37
, and the
power transmitted through the measurement cable, see
the Power Transmitted Through the Measurement Patchcord” on
. The system may be represented by Figure 35:
Figure 35
Generalization of a Return Loss Measurement
The transmitted power, (
E
), is directly proportional
P
src
.
That is:
The constant
a
is a multiplier giving the proportion of power that the
light source emits that is measured by the power meter.
The constants
a
Ref
and
a
Meas
apply to the setups described in
“Measuring the Power Transmitted Through the Reflection
and in
“Measuring the Power Transmitted
Through the Measurement Patchcord” on page 38
respectively.
This gives the following two equations:
If we divide equation 11 by equation 12, this gives the following
equation:
The loss variation,
∆
L
, due to exchanging the reference cable for the
measurement cable is given by:
