Overview
Despite improvements in network technologies, return loss in networks and data centers continues to be an issue that results in decreased performance. As a result, it is important that it be measured accurately and properly account for any loss between the meter and the connection under test. This white paper discusses the following:
- The benefits of limiting reflectance in a network
- The effects of loss on return loss accuracy
- A solution to identifying lossy cable setups
- The importance of wide dynamic range for return loss measurements
