Measurement capabilities(Using
8590A spectrum analyser in an automated system)
R.F level and insertion
loss (swept measurements) Voltage
standing wave ratio(VSWRswept)
+/-
1dB 10 MHz to 500 MHz
10 MHz to 1000 MHz
+/-
1.5dB 500 MHz to 1000 MHz
uncertainty not yet assigned
+/-
2.0dB 1000 MHz to 2.9 GHz
Some uses of these capabilities------
Plotting
filter characteristics--Adjusting aerials--Verifying co-axial leads--Amplifier
response curves--Finding the distance to co-axial cable faults--Calibrating
signal generators--Assessing field strength(with appropriate antenna)--Locateing
RF radiation from electronic equipment(EMC)
Measurement capability will change as more equipment becomes available,
there is a back- log of equipment for internal calibration.
