ONE PORT RETURN LOSS MEASUREMENTS (S11) AND TWO PORT TRANSFER FUNCTION (S21) MEASUREMENTS SETUP

-

Here I would simply clarify the difference of setup we talked about between this two measurements with the following two drawings .

Of course they limit the dynamic range of the measurements . For this reasons they are not always used or used with lower values .

How to tune a Coaxial Filter     In Fig.1 is shown the connection between Spectrum Analyzer-Rhotector (VSWR Bridge ) and a Coaxial Filter:                                                             Fig. 1. Connections between the instruments.   With this kind of connection you can measure the Return Loss or the Standing Wave Ratio of the coaxial filter at port F (shown in Fig. 1), Table 1 reports the relationship between the R.L and the VSWR. Table 1. Return Loss and SWR.     The Coaxial Filter is tuned by rotating the four knobs named Lin, Lacc1, Lacc2 and Lout, as in Fig 2. Delta Meccanica provides a graduation and a table for  the first position where is better to start the tuning. Fig. 2. Tuning Kobs. Delta Meccanica provides a graduation and a table for  the first position where is better to start the tuning.
