Transmission Performance Measurement Method
All cabling transmission performance measurements (NEXT, RL, Attenu-
ation, and ELFEXT) are implemented using swept frequency domain,
vector, digital signal processing measurement methods to ensure
accurate, repeatable results.
Transmission Parameter Measurement Accuracy
The accuracy of the RF transmission performance measurements is
calculated in accordance with error models documented in related
TIA documents. OMNISCANNER is designed to significantly exceed Level
III accuracy requirements. The following tables provide typical
specifications for the intrinsic instrument parameters relating to the
measurement accuracy model and the calculated typical accuracy for
the basic link, permanent link and channel configurations.
Note
Refer to the TIA field tester specifications for a definition of the
accuracy model.
