Installation and Maintenance Planning
Installation and maintenance planning is used to verify the performance of the
antenna system. The following tables can be used to enter test results along with the
specified limits and pass/fail margins. This allows for quick monitoring and
recording of the antenna system's performance.
Table 6-1 Incoming Inspection
Table 6-2 Installation
Table 6-3 Maintenance
As described, the tests are typically divided into three categories:
Characteristic Limit/Spec Test Result Date/Time
Cable attenuation at 900 MHz (dB/100 ft.)
Characteristic impedance
Velocity factor
Characteristic Limit/Spec Test Result Date/Time
Insertion loss
Cable attenuation (dB/100 ft.)
System return loss (dB)
Cable length (ft.)
Connector loss (fault loc., dB)
Characteristic
Pass/Fail
Margin
Test Result Date/Time
System return loss (dB)
Connector loss (fault loc., dB)
