Fixture loss was approximately 0.4dB at 6GHz, 0.8dB at 10GHz and 1.6dB at 15GHz. The above illustrations of corrected
data reflect performance of a IMK2549 coupler mounted in a matched coninuous 50Ω system of duroid construction and
SMA to microstrip transitions. Typically Insertion Loss improves with increasing nominal dB value.
