Learning to Make Reflection Measurements
Measuring Other Reflection Characteristics
You can derive several important filter parameters from the measurement shown on the
analyzer display. The following set of procedures is a continuation of the previous
reflection measurement procedure.
Measuring Reflection Coefficient.
1. Press
Save/Recall, RECALL STATE to recall the calibrated reflection measurement that you
saved earlier in this procedure.
2. Press Format, LIN MAG, Scale Ref, AUTO SCALE so the analyzer shows the same data in terms of
reflection coefficient, as shown in Figure 2-12.
The units "mU" displayed on the analyzer are "milli-units," where "units" or "U" is used
to indicate that the parameter is unitless (as opposed to log or linear). For example, 200
mUnits = 0.2.
