Reflection Tracking (ERF and ERR)
Description
Reflection tracking is the difference between the frequency response of the
reference path (R path) and the frequency response of the reflection test path
(A or B input path).
Significant System Components
open calibration kit device
n
short calibration kit device
n
R signal path if large variation in both F,RF' and ERR
n
A or B input paths if only one term is affected
n
Affected Measurements
All reflection measurements (high or low return loss) are affected by the
reflection tracking errors.
