Measures how well all the components in a system are matched to 50 Ω. Results are given in VSWR or Return Loss (dB).
Use Markers and Limit Line. Enter frequency range to sweep, select number of data points, Calibrate using the Calibration Combo.
Using Markers and a limit line allows for a quick and accurate reading. Nothing has been changed in each sweep except for the Mode from ReturnLoss to SWR.

DISTANCE TO FAULT EXAMPLES DISTANCE TO FAULT Distance to Fault (DTF) will pinpoint where the problem occurs. Need to know the frequency of operation, cable type, and the distance from the transmitter to the antenna. Antenna Return Loss Add 10-20% additional length to the Stop Distance. It is also very helpful to have a diagram of your system so that components can be identified. = -14dB It is not always possible to have such a diagram.
