the crew is doing roll-on, roll-off acquisition. This means that only part of the

patch, ten lines, needs to be ready in order to begin production

parameter testing, can begin as soon as one line is laid out, connected, and

tested

4.2.1 Line Tests

When the correct geometry has been applied to each WRU and the geometry

accuracy has been confirmed, the Observer will begin line testing. In the

warehouse before mobilization to the field the WRUs may have passed a series

of BISTs (built in self tests), but these will need to be repeated after

deployment. This can be done from the CSS, or can be done “ahead of the

recorder” using an HRA in troubleshooter mode. Possible BISTs:

• Equivalent Input Noise (EIN)

• Total harmonic Distortion (THD)

• Pulse

• Calibration

• Channel gain and phase error

WARNING

In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure

requirements, the RT 1000 units must be installed so that a minimum

separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the antenna(s) and

all persons at all times during normal operation.
