Two Port Insertion Loss Measurement
Mode
Avg Limits On/Off Turns on/off the average limit values.
Max Loss Limit Sets the maximum average limit value. If the average limits are turned on, then
the measured average insertion loss will be compared with this value.
Min Loss Limit Sets the minimum average limit value. If the average limits are turned on, then
the measured average insertion loss will be compared with this value.
Optimize
When using the default settings, the spectrum analyzer optimizes measurement accuracy
at the expense of dynamic range. There may be times, however, when you prefer to gain
dynamic range and lose some accuracy. For example, you may be making a measurement
where you want to see a relatively large dynamic range, and your results will not be
impaired significantly by 1 to 2 dB less accuracy. Optimizing for dynamic range gains you
approximately 30 dB of dynamic range.
