Return Loss measurement
range
50 dB
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
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 =
(
Vp × c
2
)

(
N − 1
F

)
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 0.03m (RSA503A, RG-58 (Vp=0.66)), User Definable 0.01m (RSA507A, RG-58 (Vp=0.66)), User Definable
Minimum resolution is a function of the cable velocity factor and the frequency step size as follows:
