How to Measure Insertion Loss

 At BitWise Laboratories, learning how to measure insertion loss is key to ensuring strong signal performance in high-speed systems. Insertion loss measures how much signal power is lost as it travels through a cable, connector, or PCB trace. Engineers typically use a Vector Network Analyzer to compare input and output power levels across a frequency range. This process helps reveal material issues, impedance mismatches, or connector faults. By accurately measuring insertion loss, designers can optimize signal paths, reduce distortion, and maintain reliable communication. It supports engineers with advanced tools for precise insertion loss analysis.
