Four Measurements You Can Perform on the Go

백서

An engineer working in the field conducts routine maintenance on and troubleshoots deployed radio-frequency (RF), microwave, and millimeter-wave systems. On any given day, you may need to measure a variety of devices or signals — cables, antennas, over-the-air signals, or intermittent spurious signals — to ensure robust signal quality and uninterrupted service.

 

Successfully performing these functions requires a basic understanding of measurements and a portable, easy-to-use handheld instrument. This white paper outlines four common measurements you can perform in the field: real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA), noise figure, over-the-air (OTA) testing, and cable and antenna test (CAT).
