Measuring the Power Transmitted Through
the Measurement Patchcord
Connect the measurement patch cord (the cable you will use to
connect to the Device Under Test, DUT) directly to a Power Meter and
measure the transmitted power,
E
Meas
. You can use
E
Meas
to calculate
the front panel delta, see
“Calculating the Front Panel Delta” on
and to calculate the insertion loss, see
Insertion Loss of the DUT” on page 43

Measuring the Power transmitted through the Measurement Patchcord
Measuring the Reflections from the DUT
Now detach the measurement patchcord from the Power Meter and
attach it to the DUT. The DUT should be terminated.
Figure 33
Measuring the Reflections from the Device Under Test
The instrument measures the power reflected from the DUT. This
power is called
P
DUT
.
