Using the Commissioning Record
Record what was measured after installation, including the measurement path, reference plane, frequency, conditions, equipment, and criterion used. Building a record documents observations; it does not certify that an installation is acceptable….
Using Channel Change Comparison
Paste the current channel plan and the proposed plan to see structural changes and screen each plan for frequency coincidences. A screening hit is something to assess, not a signal level or isolation requirement; a clean screen is not desense clearance….
Using the Antenna Pattern Generator
Enter the antenna’s published specifications to create a synthesized 3D pattern and its 2D plots. Check each value against the source datasheet before building; generated curves are model output, not measured antenna data….
Using the 3D Pattern Viewer
Open a product’s 3D radiation-pattern viewer and inspect the pattern assigned to that antenna. Check the pattern’s status and provenance note first: a synthesized pattern is a model based on published specifications, not a measurement….
Using the Coverage Calculator
Estimate RF coverage radius from transmitter power, frequency, antenna gains, receiver sensitivity, feedline loss, antenna heights, and receiver environment. Choose an available propagation model and review its limits; results are planning estimates, not site-specific coverage guarantees….
Using the System Builder
Build a preliminary bill of materials from a repeater-system brief. Choose a starting path, confirm the system inputs, and review the ranked components and engineering caveats; the BOM is an intake aid, not a released design….
Using the Feedline Calculator
Estimate coax loss and antenna-end power from cable type, frequency, run length, transmitter power, and connector assumptions. Compare a second feeder and confirm connector loss is included when sending estimates to System Builder; this is a planning estimate, not an installed measurement….
Using the QIMD Calculator
Screen a repeater channel plan for likely intermodulation products. Check the assumptions and analysis mode, then use each reported coincidence as a finding for engineering review—not as a signal-level prediction or desense clearance….
Using the VSWR Calculator
Convert a known VSWR, return loss, reflection coefficient, or percent return into the other quantities. Optionally add incident power to estimate reflected power, or review a sweep table; calculated values do not replace calibrated measurements….
Viewing Antenna Patterns in 3D
› Help The 3D Pattern Viewer displays antenna radiation-pattern data as an interactive model. It can help you inspect pattern shape and…
