Making Measurements

The following examples assume that you are using a parallel port connection with an

8720D, with the test set's parallel address set to "0". See

Switch" on page 16

for information on setting the test set address.

By leaving the DUT connected, as shown in

measure S11, you can measure reflection or return loss.

Refer to

Figure 12 on page 27

forward transmission (S

1, and PORT 2 is set to receive the RF signal.

By using the following commands, you will connect PORT 20 of the test set to the

Transmission port, and you will connect PORT 21 of the test set to the Reflection port. You

will, therefore; be measuring forward transmission through the device under test when

measuring S

. This will provide you with gain or insertion loss information.
