  • Alternate test method for RF cable testing to avoid long test cables
    Patent number: 7130032
    Abstract: A method is provided for measuring insertion loss in cables. The method comprises the steps of measuring a first insertion loss IL12 of a first circuit path including the series connection of a first cable and a second cable, measuring a second insertion loss IL23 of a second circuit path including the series connection of the second cable and a third cable, measuring a third insertion loss IL13 of a third circuit path including the series connection of the first cable and the third cable, and calculating an insertion loss of three or more cables using the formulas: IL 1 = IL 12 - IL 23 + IL 13 2 IL 3 = IL 13 - IL 1 IL 2 = IL 23 - IL 3 IL n = IL 3 ? n - IL 3 Where n is the number of cables to be tested.
