Measurements
The R&S
QAR provides several measurement types: reflection measurements and
transmission measurements. Transmission measurements require the optional trans-
mitter module. Both measurements usually consist of two steps, normalization and the
actual measurement.
Measuring a DUT
1. Set up the normalization.
2. Start the normalization with "Normalize Reflection" (or the F3 key) and "Normalize
Transmission" (or the F4 key).
For details on how to normalize the measurement, see
3. Place the DUT in front of the R&S
QAR, for example on the optional mounting
table.
4. Start the reflection and transmission measurement with "Measure" (or the F5 key).
