RETURN LOSS / VSWR
Use the Site Master to make return loss and VSWR and verify that the cable and
antenna system conforms to performance specifications.
CABLE LOSS
Cable Loss metrics measure the level of insertion loss within the cable feedline
system. This measurement can be verified prior to deployment, when you have
access to both ends. Site Master automatically calculates the average cable loss.
DISTANCE-TO-FAULT
While the return loss metric is the best measurement to verify the health of a
system, distance-to-fault (DTF) is used to troubleshoot systems and locate the
problem.
The Site Master’s DTF measurement uses the fast Fourier transform to convert
frequency data to the time domain and displays signal anomalies with respect to
distance. Using the standard trace math feature, you can monitor small relative
changes over time.
2-pORT TRANSMISSION MEASUREMENTS (OpTION 21)
Cellular/PCS and 3G base stations today use diplexers, duplexers, and
tower-mounted amplifiers to extend the coverage area. Site Master’s 2-port
transmission measurement enables you to make gain, isolation, and insertion loss
measurements as well as verify sector-to-sector isolation.
BIAS TEE (OpTION 10)
The built-in bias tee can be turned on as needed to place +12 to +32V on the
center conductor of the RF in port, eliminating the need for you to carry external
supplies in the field.
