RF Output Path Insertion Loss

This test measures the insertion loss of the power sensor module RF Output cable. The intent of this test is to identify power sensor modules that have worn or damaged cables.

This test will perform an S21 measurement with the RF input port connected to port 1 and the RF output port connected to port 2. This test recalls the state saved in the Two Port Network Analyzer Calibration test.
