Hi Aaditya,

In return loss, there can be a standing wave, even if there small 
discontinuities across the line. The standing wave has peaks and troughs spaced 
at lambda/2 apart. If you map it frequency domain, you will get those frequency 
points. 
It won't be there in insertion loss, but in S21 plot, I guess you have used 
term insertion loss for S21.

Consider a lossless situation, S21 is nothing but sqrt (1 - S11^2). So you will 
see the effect of S11 peaks and troughs in S11 graph also.

Regards
Naresh

Hello Experts,
Why are there peaks and nulls in spectral density and in insertion/return
loss measurement graphs?

Thanks and regards
Aaditya.
