NOTE: The antenna must be connected at the end of the transmission feed line
when conducting a System Return Loss measurement.
Figure 4-2 is an example of a typical system return loss measurement trace using a FlexCal
calibration:
NOTE: The system sweep trace should appear at an approximate return loss of
15 dB ( ± 3 dB) in the status window. Typically, greater than a 15 dB return loss
is measured in the passband of the antenna system.
Cable Loss Measurement
The transmission feed line insertion loss test verifies the signal attenuation level of the ca-
ble system in reference to the specification. This test can be conducted with the Cell Master
in Freq–Cable Loss mode.
