ARGUS Copper Box

14 Longitudinal conversion loss (LCL)

LCL measurement (asymmetry attenuation) looks at the balance between the Tip-wire with 
respect to Ground (GND) compared to the Ring-wire with respect to Ground. In this 

 

measurement, a tone is fed symmetrically to the wires with respect to Ground at 1 MHz. If a 
difference can be measured between the two wires, an asymmetry is present. 

 

A voltage check is performed before the measurement in which the voltage 
limits given in the table (see page 11) may not be exceeded.
The length of the measuring leads can significantly affect the measurement, 
so you should always perform your measurements using the original 

 

accessories.

 

 

The measuring ranges, resolutions and accuracies of the LCL measurement are set out 

 

in the chapter Technical data, see page 14.
