Home / Optical Coupler Directivity Test
Directivity is defined as the ratio of the leakage of the incident signal to the fully reflected signal.
The purpose of this example is to show how to use the PNA Equation Editor to create a directivity measurement trace, in order to measure a directional coupler''s directivity easily.
