Measurement Menu
VSWR
Press the VSWR submenu key to view the match in VSWR.
Return Loss
Return Loss is used to characterize RF components and systems. The Return Loss indicates how well the system is matched by taking the ratio of the reflected signal to the incident signal, and measuring the reflected power in dB.
Cable Loss
The cable loss test verifies the signal attenuation level of the cable.
DTF Return Loss
The DTF Return Loss measurement displays return loss values versus distance. If the frequency measurements fail or indicate a problem in the system, then the DTF measurement can be used to identify and pinpoint the exact location of the problem. The DTF measurement shows the return loss value of all the individual components including connector pairs and cable components.
DTF VSWR
The DTF VSWR measurement displays VSWR values versus distance. If the frequency measurements fail or indicate a problem in the system, then the DTF measurement can be used to identify and pinpoint the exact location of the problem. The DTF measurement shows the VSWR value of all the individual components including connector pairs and cable components.
2-Port Gain
Used to measure the gain of tower mounted amplifiers.
Smith Chart
Displays the measurement results as a Smith Chart.
