Thank you, John. The founding concepts you described I was already aware of, but I'm sure they were beneficial to anyone following the post. I was specifically interested in the reasons for the settings you chose (Such as REAL format and TRANSFORM), as I am not yet familiar with all the features of the VNA. Understanding the f-to-T function makes it clearer.
My adjustment of the STOP frequency allows an overall view (albeit at low resolution) of the entire length of cable which hopefully will catch some indication of any discontinuities along the line. If desired, using a higher STOP frequency along with the ELECTRICAL DELAY can then provide a more detailed indication of the nature of the discontinuity.
Thanks again!
