Measuring Magnitude and Insertion Phase Response
If the channels are coupled (the default condition), this calibration is valid for both
channels.
4. Reconnect your test device.

7. To view both the magnitude and phase response of the device, as shown in Figure 1-4,
press:
The channel 2 portion of Figure 1-4 shows the insertion phase response of the device under
test. The analyzer measures and displays phase over the rang e of −180° to +180°. As phase
changes beyond these values, a sharp 360° transition occurs in the displayed data.
