~ Leakage: The Beast and
This Book
Successful detection and measure-
ment of signal leakage requires a
combination of science and art. The
science of how leakage exists and the
art of leakage detection are not easily
explained. Signal leaks can be
deceptive and very unpredictable. For
example, weather and temperature
can affect leakage; one day a leak may
appear and the next day it may be
gone. Radio waves can bounce off
buildings; large leaks can mask small-
er ones; standing waves can go unde-
tected; and the field technician’s lack
of field experience can all contribute
to inaccurate leakage detection.
For the field technician, accurate
detection of leakage can only result
from training, ongoing field experi-
ence, repetition, the use of quality
equipment, and learning the tricks of
the trade. Therefore, this manual was
developed to assist you with:
• Understanding the importance of
RF signal leak detection.
