Typical Line Sweep Test Procedures
This section provides typical line sweep measurements used to analyze the performance of
a transmission feed line system.
System Return Loss Measurement
System return loss measurement verifies the performance of the transmission feed line sys
-
tem with the antenna connected at the end of the transmission line. To measure the system
return loss:
Required Equipment
q
Site Master Model S113C, S114C, S331C, or S332C
q
Precision Open/Short, Anritsu 22N50 or
Precision Open/Short/Load, Anritsu OSLN50LF
q
Precision Load, Anritsu SM/PL

Device Under Test
q
Transmission Feed Line with Antenna
Procedure
Step 1. Press the
MODE key.
Step 2. Select FREQ-RETURN LOSS using the Up/Down arrow key and press
ENTER.
Step 3. Set the start and stop frequencies, F1 and F2, as described on page 3-2.
Step 4. Calibrate the Site Master as described on page 3-2.
Step 5. Connect the Device Under Test to the Site Master. A trace will be displayed on
the screen when the Site Master is in the sweep mode.
Step 6. Press
SAVE DISPLAY (page 3-12) name the trace, and press ENTER.
NOTE: The antenna must be connected at the end of the transmission feed line
when conducting a System Return Loss measurement.
