At your choice, you can use SPECTRAN either for a quick frequency measure-
ment with the small
SMA rod antenna
or, for professional measurement, with
the
HyperLOG antenna
:
11.1 Single-hand operation with the SMA
rod antenna:
The quickest and easiest way to measure frequen-
cies with SPECTRAN is using the small included
SMA rod antenna
. This antenna can be directly
mounted to the SPECTRAN device, making a com-
pact, easy to handle measurement unit.
For this, carefully screw the included
SMA rod anten-
na
to the
SMA socket
on the SPECTRAN. Screwing
should be possible with only very slight force requi-
red.
Never use excessive force!
As soon as you
notice resistance, the antenna should be attached
firmly enough. After attaching, the antenna must not
wiggle around and should be seated firmly.
You can also turn the antenna by 45 or 90 degrees
like shown in the illustration on the left.
Finally, you can also screw the included
pistol-style
handle
to the bottom side of SPECTRAN. Like this, you can handle SPEC-
TRAN more easily or place it permanently on e.g. a table (for this, unfold the
handle
to become a miniature tripod).
Please note that you cannot take bearings (measure where radiation comes
from) with the included
SMA rod antenna
. Furthermore, the SMA antenna CAN-
NOT be used for measuring power flux density [W/m²] or field strength [V/m or
A/m]! This is only possible by using the
HyperLOG antenna
. Hence, the SMA
antenna is not listed in the “AntTyp” menu, either.
For best results ALWAYS use the HyperLOG-antenna!
Usage of the HyperLOG antenna is explained in detail on the following pages
