Characterizing Power Splitter Amplitude Balance and
Loss
This procedure characterizes the amplitude balance of the two output ports of the power
splitter and amplitude loss through the power splitter over a range of frequencies.
The results of the characterization are later used as a correction in the following procedures:
•
Verifying 50 Ω Passband Amplitude Flatness and Bandwidth
•
Verifying 1 MΩ Passband Amplitude Flatness and Bandwidth
•
Adjusting 50 Ω Passband Amplitude Flatness and Bandwidth
•
Adjusting 1 MΩ Passband Amplitude Flatness and Bandwidth
