Characterizing and Verifying Antenna Systems
Installation and Maintenance Planning
1. Incoming inspection, which includes those tests done on the cable components
before assembly to verify specified performance.
2. Installation measurements, which allow you to verify system integrity as well as
record baseline data.
3. Maintenance.
The limits and pass/fail margins are useful for monitoring potential problems. A
“fail” condition during maintenance may require immediate repair. By monitoring
the “margin” of a pass condition, replacement before failure can be planned.
