This is a plot of the previous filter's passband insertion loss in dB and group delay, also tested by Harold, and plotted by a VNA group delay test program.
The group delay below, being the derivative of phase with respect to frequency, also quantifies the degree of linearity of the filter's phase vs. frequency characteristic in passband, as seen in the above plot.
These group delay 'ears' represent a loss in fidelity that can be particularly troublesome in narrow CW and data filters.

 Equalizer cavity with independent amplitude control - Patent 4437073
As simple and as useful as such a component appears to be, it has been found in practice that it is impossible to precisely estimate in advance the time delay vs. frequency characteristic to be equalized and then to specifically design a cavity and its coupling mechanism to provide this characteristic.
The group delay of both filter and equalizer devices are related to their insertion loss in such a manner that when one is corrected, the other is automatically compensated.
2, there is shown the measured performance characteristics for an equalizer cavity apparatus in which independent adjustment of loss is achieved without a significant effect on either the frequency or magnitude of the delay of the cavity.

 RF Measurement Basics for Non-RF Test Engineers
The expression for the characteristic impedance of a transmission line depends on the geometry of the conductors, the properties of the conductors, and the insulator holding or separating the conductors.
For RF applications, the characteristic impedance of the transmission lines and the input and output impedances of components are designed to be 50 or 75 Ω.
At RF frequencies, the importance of mismatch means that a good connection not only has the conductors in contact, but also that the connectors are properly torqued together.

Actually, every frequency source could be a potential source of interference and all interference signals can be coupled to the power line and conducted to the power mains, thus creating problems to other equipments connected close to the signal source equipment.
If insertion loss needs to be increased at lower frequencies, the number of turns should be increased as common mode choke so that damping may apply only without any influence upon signals.
When ferrite cores are used to eliminate high frequency noises on a DC line such as a power supply line, the supply line as well as the grounding return line can be inserted through the ferrite core.

Return loss is a measure in dB of the ratio of power in the incident wave to that in the reflected wave, and as defined above always has a positive value.
Transmission lines should have their insertion loss (attenuation) measured in lieu of VSWR, but VSWR measurements of transmission lines are still important because connection problems usually show up as VSWR spikes.
This was a time consuming process since the measurement was at a single frequency and mechanical adjustments had to be made to minimize coupling into circuits.
