O/E Frequency Response Error for Different Reflection Coefficients
A significant error term in this measurement is the electrical port match of the device under test (DUT).
The following table lists the measurement uncertainty as a function of DUT electrical reflection coefficient.
On PORT 1 measurements, you can perform response and match calibration to achieve values comparable
to measurements of devices with
ρ = < 0.25, as shown in “Relative Frequency Response Performance Data” on
page 1-4.
System Dynamic Range Characteristics and Responsivity Measurement Range
The following table shows the maximum and minimum values of the O/E device under test (DUT)
frequency response.
