Chapter 4 Cable & Antenna Measurements

Figure 4-2 is an example of a typical system return loss trace:

Figure 4-2. Typical System Return Loss Trace

NOTE: The system sweep trace should appear at an approximate return loss of 15 dB (￿3 dB) on the display. In general, a 15 dB return loss is measured in the passband of the antenna system.

Insertion Loss Measurement

The transmission feed line insertion loss test verifies the signal attenuation level of the ca- ble system in reference to the specification. This test can be conducted with the Site Master in either FREQ–CABLE LOSS or FREQ–RETURN LOSS mode. In Cable Loss mode, the Site Master automatically considers the signal traveling in both directions when calculating the insertion loss, making the measurement easier for the user in the field. Both methods are explained below.
