Return Loss Measurement 7
Termination Calibration
Use this procedure to calibrate the Return Loss module against a
terminated cable, that is when there are no reflections returning from its
end.
1 Making sure all the connectors are clean, set up the instrument as
shown in Figure 110 on page -191 if you are using an External Source,
Figure 110 Termination Calibration - External source
or Figure 111 on page -191 if you are using an internal source.
