INSERTION LOSS
The graph below offers a convenient means of determining the insertion loss of filters, duplexers,
multicouplers and related products. The graph on the back page will allow you to quickly determine VSWR. It
should be remembered that the field accuracy of wattmeter readings is subject to considerable variance due
to RF connector VSWR and basic wattmeter accuracy, particularly at low end scale readings. However,
allowing for these variances, these graphs should prove to be a useful reference.
