Offset Corrections
The offset accounts for external losses by adding a fixed level offset in dB.
The attenuation of an attenuator located ahead of the sensor (or the coupling attenua-
tion of a directional coupler) is taken into account with a positive offset, i.e. the sensor
calculates the power at the input of the attenuator or the directional coupler. A negative
offset can be used to correct the influence of an amplifier connected ahead.
Using S-parameters instead of a fixed offset allows more precise measurements,
because the interaction between the sensor and the component can be taken into
account. See also

S-Parameter Correction
S-parameter correction compensates for the losses and reflections introduced by a
component – such as an attenuator, directional coupler, or matching pad – that is
