Just had a few questions on the use of a spectrum analyzer. Please bare with me as im new to measuring and using one.
I have an Anritsu S332D and attempting to use it for preventive maintenance on a point to multipoint radio system that operates in the mid 900 MHz range.
1. I take it this is only good for measuring the Antenna and Antenna cable, other than checking the power out of the radio?
2. How do you connect the analyzer? Particularly for SWR Mode and Spectrum Analyzer mode. The analyzer has RF In and RF Out ports. Could someone walk me through we initial connection set up for each test?
3. Other than measuring SWR and using Spectrum Analyzer mode, what other tests are the most beneficial in determining possible problems, even if the system appears to be functioning well. This is just for preventive maintenance.
I appreciate any help and guidance
