Output
On the output, the losses due to the resistive matching
pad must also be calibrated out of the setup. Because
of the 1:1 transformer, the spectrum analyzer appears
as a 50
Ω resistor in parallel with this circuit (see Figure
2). Equation 4 illustrates the calculation necessary to
obtain the amount of loss due to this matching circuit.
The balun also has an additional 0.5dB to 1.0dB of
loss, which is added in to the overall output losses.
This was verified with a spectrum analyzer probe. The
offset used in the test setup is 32.5dB on the spectrum
analyzer.
Resistive Pad Loss=
20*log(25/(470+25+470))=-31.7dBEq. 4
