11.  Compare the marked grey area with the measured signal. If the signal 

doesn’t match the marked grey area, it means that the actual radio 

channel is different than in configuration description. 

Please note: 

if the signal was not detected from ground level it may not 

necessarily mean that the transmitter is not working. You may have to get 
alongside the antenna at the remote site to see the signal. See: Verifying the 

radio configuration.

Polarization  verification  of  an  installed  microwave  antenna 

from ground level

Equipment: SC, SMA cable, handheld antenna

1.  Connect Spectrum Compact to the waveguide adapter via SMA cable.

2.  Move away from the tower to approximately a distance equal to the 

antenna height AGL (Above Ground Level).

3.  Turn on Spectrum Compact

4.  Tap FREQUENCY, then CENTRE and using the keypad select the frequency 

equal to the centre frequency of the radio (in MHz). Tap ENTER, then 
HOME.

5.  Tap SPAN, then MIN SPAN. Tap HOME.

Note: 

for wider radio channel bandwidths (80 MHz and up), tap SPAN and using 

the keypad select a wider span e.g. 120. Tap ENTER. Tap HOME.

6.  Tap SWEEP CONT (if the button is grey).

7.  Direct the hand-held antenna towards the antenna of interest at about 

45-degree angle and turn hand-held antenna to a horizontal position (to 
check the vertical polarization). 

8.  Tap SAVE.
