Example 1 – DTF Transmission Line Test
The Distance-To-Fault transmission line test verifies the performance of the transmission
line assembly and its components and identifies the fault locations in the transmission line
system. This test determines the return loss value of each connector pair, cable component
and cable to identify the problem location. This test can be performed in the DTF-Return Loss
or DTF-VSWR mode. Typically, for field applications, the DTF-Return Loss mode is used. To
perform this test, disconnect the antenna and connect the load at the end of the transmission
line.
