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.
