Now let us perform a transmission measurement on the same 20 dB
attenuator over the same frequency range. We will follow the same
steps as before, but this time we will use additional features.
Once again, reset the system using the Default Program key.
In this calibration we will select the N-Discrete Frequencies menu op-
tion and step all frequencies in increments of 50 MHz.
When the calibration is complete, Channel 1 will display “S21 FOR-
WARD TRANSMISSION WITH LOG MAGNITUDE AND PHASE.”
You can use Markers 1 and 2 to find the maximum and minimum val-
ues of the attenuators insertion loss.
