2-13 Measurement Menu
Key Sequence: Measurement.
VSWR: Press the VSWR submenu key to view the match in VSWR.
Return Loss: Return Loss is used to characterize RF components and
systems. The Return Loss indicates how well the system is matched by
taking the ratio of the reflected signal to the incident signal, and
measuring the reflected power in dB.
Cable Loss: The cable loss test verifies the signal attenuation level of
the cable.
DTF Return Loss: The DTF measurement displays return loss
(or VSWR) values versus distance. If the frequency measurements fail
or indicate a problem in the system, then the DTF measurement can be
used to identify and pinpoint the exact location of the problem. The DTF
measurement shows the return loss value of all the individual
components including connector pairs and cable components.
DTF VSWR: The DTF measurement displays return loss (or VSWR)
values versus distance. If the frequency measurements fail or indicate a
problem in the system, then the DTF measurement can be used to
identify and pinpoint the exact location of the problem. The DTF
measurement shows the return loss value of all the individual
components including connector pairs and cable components.
Display Format: Select between having a single measurement or dual
measurement display.
Active Display: Selects the active display, by displaying a red outline.
More: Opens an additional menu.
1-Port Phase: Used for phase matching of cables.
Smith Chart: Displays the measurement results as a Smith
Chart.
Back: Returns to the Measurement Menu.
