Review
B-1 Introduction
This appendix provides additional data about typical cable and antenna
measurements.
B-2 Measurement Overview
What is Measured?
Line sweeping is a quality measure of the transmission lines or antenna
system or both. Systems may include cables, connectors, lightning protectors,
tower mounted amplifiers, and antennas (Figure B-1). Line sweeping can
measure the power losses in the system at the functional frequencies. Line
sweeping measures system impedance and confirms whether the system
meets carrier specifications.
