  2. Insertion loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_loss

    In telecommunications, insertion loss is the loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber and is usually expressed in decibels (dB). If the power transmitted to the load before insertion is P T and the power received by the load after insertion is P R, then the insertion loss in decibels ...

  3. Return loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_loss

    Increasing return loss corresponds to lower SWR. Return loss is a measure of how well devices or lines are matched. A match is good if the return loss is high. A high return loss is desirable and results in a lower insertion loss. From a certain perspective 'Return Loss' is a misnomer. The usual function of a transmission line is to convey ...

  4. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    This is the actual mode of operation for most high-speed differential interconnects and is the quadrant that receives the most attention. It includes input differential return loss (SDD11), input differential insertion loss (SDD21), output differential return loss (SDD22) and output differential insertion loss (SDD12).

  5. Power dividers and directional couplers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_dividers_and...

    The insertion loss is not such a problem for an unequal split of power: for instance -40 dB at port 3 has an insertion loss less than 0.2 dB at port 2. Isolation can be improved at the expense of insertion loss at both output ports by replacing the output resistors with T pads. The isolation improvement is greater than the insertion loss added ...

  6. Copper cable certification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_cable_certification

    Insertion loss, also referred to as attenuation, refers to the loss of signal strength at the far end of a line compared to the signal that was introduced into the line. This loss is due to the electrical resistance of the copper cable , the loss of energy through the cable insulation, and impedance mismatches introduced at the connectors.

  7. Optical fiber connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_connector

    The resulting glass-to-glass or plastic-to-plastic contact eliminates signal losses that would be caused by an air gap between the joined fibers. Performance of optical fiber connectors can be quantified by insertion loss and return loss. Measurements of these parameters are now defined in IEC standard 61753-1.

  8. RF switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_switch

    A low insertion loss system can be achieved by minimizing the number of connectors and through-paths, or by selecting low insertion loss devices for system configuration. As power is expensive at higher frequencies, electromechanical switches provide the lowest possible loss along the transmission path.

  9. Loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss

    Bridging loss, the loss that results when an impedance is connected across a transmission line; Coupling loss, the loss that occurs when energy is transferred from one circuit, optical device, or medium to another; Insertion loss, the decrease in transmitted signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical ...
