➀ Where ρ is the reflection coefficient being measured. Accuracy includes the effects of test port reflections and directivity.
➁ When used with 28A50-1 Precision Termination. The effective directivity of the bridge can be increased to 60 dB by using the Ripple
Extraction return loss measurement technique with the 18A50 Air Line and 29A50-20 Offset Termination.
➂ See paragraph 4 for explanation of accuracy and other terms.
➃ 46 dB directivity available as Option 1. Option 1 accuracy: 0.005 ±0.09ρ
