| Featured Article | | Understanding Cable And Antenna Analysis
While a problematic base station can be replaced, a cable and antenna system is
not so easy to replace. Field technicians today rely on portable cable and antenna analyzers to analyze, troubleshoot, characterize, and maintain a base station system. This article covers the fundamentals of the key measurements of cable and antenna analysis: return loss, cable loss, and distance-to-fault (DTF)...
