R&S ZNB/ZNBT
The minimum required is at least two points for every 90 degree phase angle
change in insertion loss (or 8 points per wavelength).
2. The "2x Thru's" return loss must be smaller than its insertion loss.
3. The "2x Thru's" insertion loss must be relatively linear, with a few wavelengths at
the highest frequency.
4. Use a 4-port "2x Thru" if strong far-end crosstalk (FEXT) is present.
5. Use a complete DUT w. fixture file for extraction.

4.7.10 Smart fixture de-embedding
Option R&S ZNB-K230/R&S ZNBT-K230
This option offers a pre-installed or service-retrofitted version of PacketMicro's Smart
Fixture De-embedding (SFD) for fixture de-embedding.
The tool is integrated into the de-embedding functionality of the analyzer firmware.

4.7.11 Delta-L 4.0 PCB characterization
Option R&S ZNB-K231/R&S ZNBT-K231
Delta-L is a de-embedding methodology developed by Intel Corporation and is used for
de-embedding strip lines that include vias. Delta-L calculates the loss of PCB intercon-
nects and can be performed on single-ended or balanced interconnects.
The objective of Delta-L is to determine an insertion loss measurement defined on two
or more coupon lines of differing lengths. This ratio of insertion loss in dB/inch can be
applied to any trace length with similar vias.
