Insertion Loss
Insertion loss is the loss in transmission lines is the loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber and is usually expressed in decibels (dB).
Symbol: IL
Measurement: NoiseUnit: dB
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Power Transmitted Before Insertion
Power transmitted before insertion is the required power transmitted to the load before insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fibre.
Symbol: Pt
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Power Received After Insertion
The power received after insertion refers to the power that is available at the input of the antenna for radiation or reception.
Symbol: Pr
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
log10
The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function.
Syntax: log10(Number)

FAQs on Insertion Loss in Transmission Line

What is the formula to find Insertion Loss in Transmission Line?
The formula of Insertion Loss in Transmission Line is expressed as Insertion Loss = 10*log10(Power Transmitted Before Insertion/Power Received After Insertion). Here is an example- 5.093059 = 10*log10(0.42/0.13).
How to calculate Insertion Loss in Transmission Line?
With Power Transmitted Before Insertion (Pt) & Power Received After Insertion (Pr) we can find Insertion Loss in Transmission Line using the formula - Insertion Loss = 10*log10(Power Transmitted Before Insertion/Power Received After Insertion). This formula also uses Common Logarithm (log10) function(s).
Can the Insertion Loss in Transmission Line be negative?
Yes, the Insertion Loss in Transmission Line, measured in Noise can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Insertion Loss in Transmission Line?
Insertion Loss in Transmission Line is usually measured using the Decibel[dB] for Noise. Neper[dB], MilliDecibel[dB] are the few other units in which Insertion Loss in Transmission Line can be measured.
