7 Return Loss Measurement
Figure 106 Termination Calibration
Calibrating the Return Loss Module
Whenever a Return Loss module is in the mainframe, a return loss value is
displayed. The calibration values used are either the most recently
measured, where these are available, or factory default values.
If you are unsure of any of the calibration values that you are using, or if
you have changed the measurement setup, take the appropriate
calibration measurements again.
• First, calibrate the return loss module against a component of known
reflectance.
• The Keysight 81000BR Reference Reflector allows you to make a
Reflectance Calibration and a Termination Calibration.
• These procedures are described in Calibration using the Keysight
81000BR Reference Reflector on page 189.
• The Keysight 81610CC Reference Cable also allows you to make a
Reflectance Calibration. Use the measurement patchcord to make a
Termination Calibration.
• To measure insertion loss and the front panel delta of the system
(see Calculating the Front Panel Delta on page 209), you must also
measure the insertion loss of the Reference Cable and mesurement
patchcord. This is usually the preferred procedure for this reason.
• These procedures are decribed in Calibration using the Keysight
81610CC Reference Cable on page 192.
