Calibration Measurements

8163A/B, 8164A/B, 8166A/B User's Guide
Before measuring the reflection factor of a device under test (DUT), it is
important to take calibration measurements as described in
the Return Loss Module
wavelength dependencies, coupler directivity, insertion losses,
backscattering and other non-ideal characteristics of the system.
The Return Loss Application described later in the manual, available on the
8163B and 8163A, provides a convenient guide through the calibration
and measurement process.
