Spectrum Analyzer Measurements 3-19 Coverage Mapping (Option 431)
Spectrum Analyzer MG PN: 10580-00447 Rev. H 3-91
3-19 Coverage Mapping (Option 431)
To select EMF measurement go to main menu and press MEASURE > MEASUREMENT >Coverage Mapping.
The coverage mapping measurement is set up using the “SETUP Menu (Coverage Mapping)” on page 3-97. The
Coverage Mapping (Option 431) provides signal strength mapping on the instrument display and will plot
color-coded signal values at GNSS (GPS) coordinates for the following measurements:
• Channel Power: The total power within the set channel bandwidth.
• Spectral Density: The measure of the signal power content versus frequency.
• RSSI: The received signal strength indicator mode represents the amount of the received power level of
the radio signal, after antenna and cable gains/losses.
Refer to the previous sections in this chapter for details and menu overviews of general spectrum analysis
measurements including setting up frequency and bandwidth parameters, sweep settings, trigger types,
attenuator options, and preamp settings. Once coverage mapping is selected, start the mapping measurement
via MEASURE > START MEAS.
Refer to “Outdoor Coverage Mapping” on page 3-92 and Figure 3-75, “Coverage Mapping (Outdoor)”
on page 3-92 for an overview of outdoor coverage mapping and the user interface.
Refer to “Indoor Coverage Mapping” on page 3-94 and Figure 3-76, “Coverage Mapping (Indoor)” on page 3-94
for an overview of indoor coverage mapping and the user interface.
Note that the coverage mapping setup menu is common to both map types.
Note
The Coverage Mapping option for outdoor signal mapping requires an active GPS antenna to be
connected to the instrument. Offline maps will need to be uploaded to the instrument if an Internet
connection is not available. Refer to “Map Tool” on page 3-99. Indoor coverage mapping does not
require GNSS (GPS).
