Ensure the Reliability of Your Cable and Antenna System (continued)
Early identification of potential problems
Deteriorating cable and antenna conditions, such as a loose or corroded
connector, a pinched or restricted cable, or damaged lightning arrestors cause
measurable RF impedance changes. Slight changes in VSWR, power loss and
antenna bandwidth drift are early indications of system deterioration.
Distance-To-Fault testing uses frequency domain reflectrometry (FDR)
techniques that readily detects and locates these slight changes in RF
impedance. With routine DTF testing as part of a preventative maintenance plan,
you can find and fix these problems before the system fails and repairs become
costly. Agilent’s N9330B provides fast startup time, so technicians are ready to
test in seconds.
It’s small size and light weight make it easy to handle and it stands up to rough
field use and all weather conditions.
Fast measurement speed means your technicians can evaluate one of the
trouble spots in a matter of minutes.
N9330B speeds up installation of cables and antennas at new site, too.
Whatever your tasks, speed is important, with N9330B you can test more sites
per day.
And USB data storage lets you save all of the results for post-test analysis.
You will find the Agilent N9330B tester useful and reliable, in rugged field
environments for rapid installation of a new cellular network infrastructure,
2-way radio communication system or any type of communication system.
