Interference immunity Return Loss Measurement Error within specifications for the following conditions:
+5 dBm interferer power within 800 kHz of measurement point
+5 dBm interferer power more than 800 kHz away from measurement point
(High power test level. Interferer not included in accuracy assessment.)
Distance-to-Fault range 1500 m or 15 dB one-way cable loss capable, user defined
Maximum range is a function of the cable velocity factor and the frequency step size as follows:
Range =

Where:
V
p
= Cable velocity factor relative to the speed of light
c = Speed of light (m/s)
F
start
= Sweep start frequency (Hz)
F
stop
= Sweep stop frequency (Hz)
N = number of sweep points
Distance-to-Fault resolution RSA503A, (RG-58Vp=0.66): 0.03 m (User Definable)
RSA507A, (RG-58Vp=0.66): 0.01 m (User Definable)
Minimum resolution is a function of the cable velocity factor and the frequency step size as follows:
