5.2.5 Collecting Geographic Data (R&S FSH-K15 and -K16)
The main application of the "Maps" mode is to collect geographic data. The R&S FSH
provides two main applications, triangulation and geotagging.
5.2.5.1 Geotags
A geotag is a tag for a particular location that contains information about that location.
This information includes, for example, GPS coordinates, the time of the measurement
or level that has been measured. You can evaluate the geotag information directly on-
site or save the information for later evaluation.
With the geotagging functionality, you can mark locations where you have performed a
measurement. Thus, you are able to analyze the geographical distribution of the
received signal strength. This allows you to analyze, for example, the coverage
conditions around a base station's coverage area.
In the map display, a geotag is displayed as a dot with a number. Option R&S FSH-
K15 also shows a straight line. The straight line represents the direction you are facing.
You can create a geotag in several ways.
Creating geotags manually
You can create a geotag of your current position (which requires a GPS receiver) or
create a geotag of any other position that you would like to create.
► Press the "GPS Position" softkey.
► Select the "Save Current Position" menu item.
The R&S FSH creates a geotag of your current position. A geotag created this way
is based on the coordinates of the GPS receiver and includes the azimuth.
If required, you can assign a different azimuth for the GPS coordinates.
► Press the "GPS Position" softkey.
► Select the "Save Azimuth Only" menu item.
The R&S FSH opens an input field to change the azimuth (the GPS data itself is
not changed). Note that the azimuth line is updated in real time when you change
its angle.
Alternatively, create a geotag of an arbitrary location.
► Select the "Save Manual Position" menu item.
► Enter the GPS data and location information.
The R&S FSH creates a geotag with the geographic data you have entered.
