UNH-IOL accounts for FR4 effects on test jigs

The UNH-IOL (University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory) designs and builds its own test jigs to connect test equipment with devices under test. The staff makes its test jigs out of FR4 material, and for a jig used with data communications products, they must compensate for the fact that FR4 can introduce loss on technologies that operate near or above 1 GHz.
