How to Measure Insertion Loss
Accurate loss measurement is essential for evaluating high-speed signal paths.Excessive attenuation can weaken signals and reduce system performance. How to measure insertion loss involves comparing signal power before and after it passes through a transmission medium such as a PCB trace, cable, or connector. Engineers typically use vector network analyzers to obtain precise frequency-domain results and identify loss characteristics across bandwidth. This analysis helps optimize materials, routing, and interconnect design for minimal degradation.
