Step 15. Read the S2P file for the modulator that was gener-
ated in Step 10 from the SD Card or USB drive
(menu DE7A, left). This will de-embed the modulator
response from the set-up for an O/E measurement.
NOTE
If an S2P file is not available, it can be gen-
erated from the characterization data pro-
vided by the vendor. This is explained on
page 8-74.
An O/E measurement of a photo-receiver is shown in Figure 8-39 be-
low. The S21 measurement represents the transfer function of the
photo-receiver and S22 represents the electrical return loss.
