Description / Abstract:
This test procedure provides only a cumulative return loss for systems
or links being tested. This
procedure also provides a reflectance measurement for discrete
components. If the reflectance for
individual components in series within a system must be analyzed,
FOTP-8 should be used in lieu of
this procedure.
This procedure offers two methods for measuring reflected power using
a branching device and loss
test set(s). These test methods may be destructive in nature and
therefore not desirable for
production testing. Annex A offers specialized variations of the test
methods, for use in the
non-destructive testing of connectorized assemblies.
