The frequency range that can be set is determined by the selected units
when IDA antennas are used. Measurements are only possible within the
specified frequency range of the antenna if units of field strength or power
density are selected (see Table 27). This is because no antenna factors are
available outside this range for calculating the field strength or power
density.
You can set the frequency range to any range you like if units of power
level or voltage level are selected (see Table 26). However, the
functionality of the antennas is no longer guaranteed or is severely limited
outside the specified frequency range.
Available units
The following power and voltage units are always available:
The following power or field strength units are additionally available when an
antenna is connected or selected:
