2-Port Transmission Measurements
A 2-Port Transmission measurement is used for measuring electrical length,
insertion loss, gain, or isolation of a device. The FieldFox signal source is
transmitted out the RF OUT connector, through the DUT, and into the RF IN
connector. Both ends of the DUT must be connected to the FieldFox.
Only Magnitude, NOT Phase, is displayed.

How to make a 2-Port Transmission Measurement
1. Press Mode then
2. Press Freq/Dist and enter the measurement frequency.
3. Connect the RF Out and RF In test port cables to form a Thru connection. If
4. Press Meas Setup 4 then Zero.
5. Connect the DUT as in the diagram above.
6. The displayed magnitude value is the gain of the amplifier. To measure
