Measurement of VSWR | Return Loss | Cable Loss | DTF | Through Anritsu Site Master

The cable and antenna system plays a crucial role of the overall performance of a Base Station system. Degradations and failures in the antenna system may cause poor voice quality or dropped calls. From a carrier standpoint, this could eventually result in loss of revenue.
While a problematic base station can be replaced, a cable and antenna system is not so easy to replace. It is the role of the field technician to troubleshoot the cable and antenna system and ensure that the overall health of the communication system is performing as expected.
Field technicians today rely on portable cable and antenna analyzers to analyze, troubleshoot, characterize, and maintain the system. The purpose of this white paper is to cover the fundamentals of the key measurements of cable and antenna analysis; Return Loss, Cable Loss, and Distance-To-Fault (DTF).
Distance To Fault (DTF) is a performance verification and failure analysis tool used for antenna and transmission line service and maintenance. It uses the Frequency Domain a swept RF signal instead of TDR DC pulses. FDR is far more sensitive than TDR and can precisely locate faults and degradation in system performance, not just DC open or short circuit conditions. This dual role of predicting future failure conditions and isolating existing problems makes DTF an important part of service and maintenance on transmission lines.

Really helpful 👍

[@kaderhouari86]

In the last of video what is the unite M1 M2....
And the site master says to me the distance where I have the loss in my cable

[@kaderhouari86]

Please Mr I would like to measure the return in the menu mode witch option I must choise return loss or DTF and what is the unite of M1,M2......
