WHAT IS THE WEBCAST ABOUT?
Cable and antenna measurements are often required to verify and troubleshoot the electrical performance of RF and microwave transmission systems and antennas. Measurements are often made along the coaxial cable connecting a transmitter to its antenna and/or between an antenna and its receiver. During the installation, operation and maintenance of a telecommunication system, the connecting cables, adapters and antennas may become damaged or show reduced performance over time. Inherently, in any communication system, it becomes important to have a process and the appropriate instrumentation to verify the performance of the cables and antennas when issues are discovered at the system level.
This webcast introduces measurement and calibration techniques for cable and antenna testing (CAT) using Agilent FieldFox handheld analyzers. We will discuss a variety of measurements such as cable insertion loss, return loss, VSWR and Distance-to-Fault (DTF) testing. Antenna measurements are also discussed and several examples of return loss and antenna-to-antenna isolation will be provided.
WHO SHOULD VIEW THIS WEBCAST?
Field Service or Installation and Maintenance Managers, Engineers or Technicians in the wireless service, military, medical or regulatory agency areas who are responsible for operating or maintaining their communication or surveillance infrastructure.
