3. Characterization parameters

3.1 Transmission measurements

The transmission characterization of a device under test depends on the incident signal and the transmitted signal. The transmission parameter is the linear ratio between transmitted and incident voltage, for the same reference impedance. For any transmission measurement with a network analyzer, it is imperative to define the reference plane in amplitude (reference 0 dB) and phase (reference 0˚) of the measurement system. To do this, a simple THRU calibration (§ 5.1.2
