LINEARIZATION for LEVEL
Due to the nature of the microwave energy and the physics involved in the measurement of the MT5000, measure-
ments return signals on the top and bottom end of the probe may be non-linear. The degree of non-linearity will de-
pend upon the dielectric of the material being measured, the configuration of the probe, and the proximity of the ma-
terial to the ends of the probe. A typical table setup for measurement linearity will only contain a few Output Points.
Points not used will be left set to 0.00. Below is an example of Linearization set up for Measurement Linearity.
