Making Measurements
Measuring S21 Forward Transmission using an Enhanced Response Calibration
Calibrating for Insertable Devices
When doing a through-standard calibration, normally the test ports
mate directly together. For example, two cables with the appropriate
connectors can be connected directly without a through adapter,
resulting in a zero-length through-standard. An insertable device is a
device that can be inserted in place of a zero-length through-standard. It
has the same type of connector on each port, but with a different sex, or
the same type of sexless connector on each port (APC-7, for example).
