1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

LMR Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connectors on the instrument and on all accessories. Clean the LMR Master
with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or with water and a mild cleaning solution.
Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB 1-3

1-3 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance General Information
Connector Care
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured
alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the
N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether
the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are
correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in
appearance, and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.
To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the
Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf·in to 15 lbf·in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N·m).
Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can
damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.
Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or
connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can
limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument.
Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can
damage the connector, the instrument, or both.
Connecting Procedure
1. Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically
into the contact fingers of the female connector.
2. Push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together. A slight
resistance can usually be felt as the center conductors mate.
3. To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to
the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.
4. If you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn or
45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.
Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order
to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from
turning while tightening with the torque wrench.
Do not over-torque the connector.
Disconnecting Procedure
1. If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning
while loosening with a second wrench.
2. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.
3. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.
ESD Caution
The LMR Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to ESD damage.
Coaxial cables and antennas can easily build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge
by connecting directly to the LMR Master without first discharging the static charge) may
damage the instrument input circuitry. Operators must be aware of the potential for ESD
damage and must take all necessary precautions.
1-4 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

General Information 1-4 Battery Replacement
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625
(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices,
equipment, and practices. Because these standards apply to the LMR Master, Anritsu
Company recommends that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before
connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the LMR Master. This may be as simple as
temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the
LMR Master. Remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause
damage. Following the practices outlined in these standards helps to ensure that a safe
environment exists for both personnel and equipment.
1-4 Battery Replacement

The battery can be replaced without the use of tools. The battery compartment is located on
the lower left side of the instrument (when you are facing the measurement display). Refer to
Figure 1-1. To remove the battery:
1. Slide the catch toward the bottom of the instrument.
2. Tilt the top of the door away from the unit.
3. Lift out the battery door.
4. Remove the battery pack from the instrument by grabbing the battery lanyard and
pulling out.
Replacement is the opposite of removal. The battery key side (slot below the contacts) must be
facing the front on the unit and slides in first. Press the battery inward firmly to seat the
contacts, then reinstall the door.
When inserting the battery, the battery label must face the back of the instrument,
Note and the guide slot on the battery must be below the contacts. If the battery door
does not latch closed, the battery may be inserted incorrectly.
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB 1-5

1-4 Battery Replacement General Information
Figure 1-1. Battery Compartment
The battery that is supplied with the LMR Master may need charging before first use. The
battery can be charged while it is installed in the LMR Master by using either the AC-DC
Adapter or the DC adapter, or outside the LMR Master with the optional Dual Battery
Charger. Refer to “Battery Symbols” on page 2-13 for a description of battery symbols used on
the LMR Master screen.
Use only Anritsu Company approved batteries, adapters, and chargers with this
instrument.
Note
Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage of the
instrument.
When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter, always verify that the

General Information 1-5 Calibration and Verification
1-5 Calibration and Verification

The LMR Master is a field-portable unit designed to operate in the rigors of the test
environment. In order to ensure measurement accuracy, RF calibration (OSLT, for example)
must be performed prior to making a measurement in the field.
The LMR Master has no field-adjustable components. The RF calibration components,
however, are crucial to the integrity of the calibration and must be periodically verified to
ensure their performance. This is especially important if the components have been dropped
or over-torqued.
For best calibration results (compensation for all measurement uncertainties),

ensure that the calibration is performed at the end of the test port or optional
Note
extension cable (that is, at the same point that the device that is to be tested (DUT)
will be connected).
For best results, use an Anritsu phase stable Test Port Extension Cable, such as
those listed in the Technical Data Sheet for your instrument (refer to Appendix A).
Use of a typical laboratory cable to extend the LMR Master test port to the device
Caution
under test, or any bending of the cable subsequent to the OSL or OSLT calibration,
may cause uncompensated phase reflections inside the cable. Reflections of this
type cause measurement errors, which are more pronounced at higher frequencies.
Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the LMR Master
and the OSL calibration components and InstaCal module by local Anritsu Service Centers.
The LMR Master is self-calibrating and has no field-adjustable components. The OSL
calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibration. As a result, they must be
verified periodically to ensure performance conformity. This is especially important if the
OSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or over-torqued. Contact
information for Anritsu Service Centers is available at http://www.anritsu.com/contact-us.

Calibration Considerations
Various calibrations are available in the LMR Master. Press Shift-2 (Calibration) to open the
calibration menu. Press Start Cal and follow the instruction on the screen. 1-Port calibration is
the simplest and requires three connections during calibration. 2-Port calibration requires
four calibration connections and corrects for the transmit port match.
VNA calibration requires external precision OSL calibration components. 2-Port calibration
also requires a through connector (Figure 3-5 on page 3-7).
The Vector Network Analyzer Calibration menu is the same one that is used in the
Vector Voltmeter menu (Option 15). Refer to section “Calibration Menus” in
Chapter 6 of the Vector Network Analyzer Measurement Guide (refer to
Appendix A in this publication for a listing of all measurement guides) for more
Note
information about the calibration menu. Note that some calibration parameters are
shared between the Vector Network Analyzer and Vector Voltmeter mode, and that
some parameters are different because they were optimized for the specific mode
application.

Figure 3-5. Calibration
When performing a calibration, the correction coefficients are calculated for specific
measurements (depending on the type of calibration chosen) and for instrument settings
(frequency range, number of points, and power level). The term “calibration correction” refers
to the correction coefficients that are applied to measurements as a result of your calibration.
When calibration correction is On, the correction is applied to all applicable measurements.
For example, if a 1-port calibration is performed, then only traces that measure reflection
have a valid calibration. For those traces, the calibration information data in the Instrument
Settings Summary (item 1 in Figure 2-6 on page 2-7) shows “CAL: ON (OK)”. Other traces
that do not measure reflection display “CAL: --” to indicate that no valid calibration is
available for those traces. The calibration correction can also be turned off manually under
the Calibration menu by toggling the Cal Correction submenu key from On to Off. In that case,
the display shows “CAL: OFF” for all traces that have valid correction data available.
Note that “CAL: OFF” means that a calibration correction has been created, but it is not
currently being used. This is different from “CAL: --”, which means that no valid calibration
correction is available for the current setting.
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB 3-7

When you have Cal Correction on, you cannot increase the frequency range or the number of
points. You can, however, reduce the frequency range or decrease the number of points
without forcing the calibration to become invalid. When reducing the frequency range, the
LMR Master uses the appropriate points within the new frequency range that have correction
coefficients applied to them. In that case, you can observe that the number of points that are
being used for calibration correction are automatically reduced.
If you reduce only the number of points, then the frequency range is not changed. The
LMR Master finds a subset of the original points in the sweep that can be used. You can
therefore notice that the instrument may not use the exact number of points that you have
entered. It picks a specific number of points that allow the calibration correction to continue
to be valid. If you use the rotary knob, you will more easily find the available number of
points that can be set. For example, if you calibrated with 201 points, then you can observe
that you can reduce the number of points to 101, 68, 51, 41, and so forth.
If you change the source power setting, the calibration status is changed to “CAL: ON (?P)”,
which indicates that source power has changed since the instrument was calibrated (from
Low to High, or from High to Low). In this case, the calibration may still be valid, but a new
calibration is recommended.
Another status information display that you may see is “CAL: ON (?T)” which indicates that
the instrument temperature has deviated by more than a set amount since the time that the
calibration was conducted. The calibration is most likely still valid, but a new calibration is
recommended. If you see “CAL: ON (X)” on the display, then this indicates that the
instrument temperature has deviated (since the time the calibration was conducted) by an
amount that has more than likely rendered the calibration invalid. When this occurs, a new
calibration is highly recommended before further measurements are conducted.
Only one calibration is available at one time. Performing a new calibration overwrites any
existing calibration. You can, however, store a measurement setup (with CAL), which also
stores the calibration. You can therefore have multiple calibrations available (as long as the
calibration settings and conditions continue to apply).
Existing Cal Info

The Cal Info submenu key is found in the Calibration main menu and lists the current
calibration settings.
If you update the firmware for an LMR Master, you will have to recalibrate the
instrument. Before loading new firmware, make note of the calibrations set on this
Note
instrument and make sure that the required supplies to re-establish those
calibrations are available.

3-9 External Power On

This feature allows the LMR Master to restart when external DC power is applied.
This source of external power is applied to the power connector as described in “External
Power” on page 2-11. This connector is shown as item 9 in Figure 2-8 on page 2-10. When this
feature is enabled from the Power–On menu, the LMR Master (when Off) automatically
restarts when external DC power is applied. Refer to “Power–On Menu” on page 5-15.
When this feature is enabled, the LMR Master in the off state will turn on when external DC
power is applied. The instrument turns off when external power is removed, even if a battery
is installed. This is useful for high-reliability remote operation, where the instrument may
need to be rebooted using a remotely-controlled power switch. In this mode however, the
Power button causes the instrument to restart.
If the instrument is turned on with the power switch, then external power is removed, the
instrument will continue to run until the battery is depleted. It will come on and the battery
will begin recharging when external power is applied. This state is useful when the
instrument is in a location where the power source may be interrupted.

6-3 Ethernet Configuration
LAN Connection
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect the LMR Master to a local area network. Integrated
into this connector are two LEDs. The amber LED shows the status of the Ethernet Link:
Link Up (On) or Link Down (Off). The green LED flashes to show that LAN traffic is present.
The instrument IP address is set by pressing the Shift key, then the System (8) key followed
by the System Options soft key and the Ethernet Config soft key. The instrument Ethernet
address can be set automatically using DHCP, or manually by entering the desired IP
address, gateway address, and subnet mask. Refer to “DHCP” on page 6-6 for more
information.
An active Ethernet cable may need to be connected to the instrument before it is

turned on in order to enable the Ethernet port for DHCP or static IP address.
Depending upon local conditions, the port may remain enabled when changing
Note from DHCP to static IP address, when changing from static IP address to DHCP,
or when temporarily disconnecting the Ethernet cable.
If the port becomes disabled, ensure that an active Ethernet cable is attached to
the instrument before cycling the power OFF and back ON.

6-4 DHCP Ethernet Connectivity
6-4 DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol that automates the
process of setting IP addresses for devices that use TCP/IP, and is the most common method
of configuring a device for network use. Most networks include a DHCP server to manage IP
addresses. When a DHCP server is available on the network, DHCP is the preferred IP
address assignment mode.
To determine if a network is set up for DHCP,
1. Connect the LMR Master to the network and select DHCP protocol in the
Ethernet Config menu.
2. Turn the LMR Master off, and then on. If the network is set up for DHCP, the assigned
IP address should be displayed briefly after the power up sequence.
When using DHCP, no setup is required to lease and use a dynamic IP address. In a dynamic
IP operation, the IP address in use may change from use to use. The DHCP server hands out
IP addresses on a first come, first served basis. As soon as the device is disconnected from the
network, the IP address that it was using becomes available to lease to the next unit that
requests an IP address. Normally, some amount of lag time is present on the DHCP server
end, so if the device is connected again reasonably soon, then it may end up with the same
address.
The instrument may need to be connected to the network before it is turned on in

order for DHCP to function. Key elements of the DHCP lease are performed during
Note
the instrument startup operations or when switching from manual to DHCP, and
may not reliably synchronize during normal operation.
6-5 Static IP Address

When a DHCP server is not available, a static IP address can be used. A static IP address is a
fixed address. After being set, it remains the same from session to session.
When using a static IP address on an established network, always request the static IP
address from the network administrator, so that it does not conflict with other equipment on
the network. Randomly choosing a static IP address on an established network may result in
duplicate IP addresses or other conflicts.
These parameters must be set prior to using a static IP address:
IP Address: This is the static IP address on the network.
Default Gateway: Often when a static IP address is assigned, a default gateway is also
identified. If the default gateway is unknown, then type in the static IP
address so that the static IP address and default gateway are the same
number.
Subnet Mask : This parameter is usually extracted from the static IP address based on
the class of the address and determines the destination of any broadcast
messages that might be sent from the instrument. It can be customized
if necessary. The subnet mask may also be provided with the static IP
address.
6-6 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

Ethernet Connectivity 6-6 ipconfig Tool
Example 1
In this example, a static IP address has been chosen because no network DHCP service is
available. The instrument is connected to the network port on the PC with a crossover
Ethernet cable (not included). This is also referred to as Direct Connect:
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Example 2
In this example, the static IP address has been assigned with an associated gateway and
subnet mask:
IP Address: 153.56.100.42
Default Gateway: 153.56.100.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
6-6 ipconfig Tool

A few tools that are built into the Microsoft Windows operating system can assist in making
some determinations about the network to which the PC is connected. Typing ipconfig at a
command prompt produces a display of information about the in-use parameters of the PC
and its network connection. Following is an example of the typical results expected:
The ipconfig display does not report whether the information is from a DHCP
Note
server or from a static IP setup.

6-7 ping Tool Ethernet Connectivity
6-7 ping Tool

Another tool that can find out if a selected IP address is already on the network is ping. Ping
is a harmless way to determine if an address is found on the network, and (if it is found) to
receive a reply. Basically, the ping function sends out a request to a specific address to
determine if a computing device is connected to the network at that address. If a valid
connection is found, then a copy of the signal (that was sent) is returned. If a connection is not
found, then the response is “request timed out”, which means that no reply was received from
that IP address.

Chapter 9 — GPS (Option 31)
9-1 Introduction
The LMR Master is available with a built-in GPS receiver feature (Option 31) that can
provide latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC timing information. This option also enhances
the frequency reference oscillator accuracy in the Spectrum Analyzer mode. Within three
minutes of satellite acquisition, the reference oscillator will have an accuracy of better than
50 ppb (parts per billion).
In order to acquire data from the GPS satellites, you must have line-of-sight to the satellites,
or the antenna must be placed outside without any obstructions. An Anritsu GPS antenna is
required.
The LMR Master Technical Data Sheet provides a list of options and the
Note

GPS Info
• Tracked Satellites
Shows the number of tracked satellites (three are required to retrieve latitude and
longitude, four are required to resolve altitude). Generally, the larger number of
satellites tracked, the more accurate the information.
• Latitude and Longitude
Shows location in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Altitude
Shows altitude information in meters.
• UTC
Coordinated universal time.
• Fix Available
The cold start search sets are established to ensure that at least three satellites are
acquired within the first couple of minutes. When three satellites are found, the
receiver computes an initial fix (typically in less than two minutes). Fix Not Available
means that the initial position has not been established.
• Almanac Complete
The system Almanac contains information about the satellites in the constellation,
ionospheric data, and special system messages. In a cold start, the GPS receiver does
not have any navigation data so the receiver does not have a current almanac. A
complete system almanac is not required to achieve a first position fix. The availability
of the almanac, however, can significantly reduce the time to first fix.
• Antenna Status
OK: Antenna is connected properly and antenna is working properly
Short/Open: A short or open exists between the antenna and the connection. If this
message is displayed, then remove and replace the GPS antenna. If the message
persists, then try another Anritsu GPS antenna. If the message persists, contact your
nearest Anritsu Service Center.
• Receiver Status
Current status of the receiver.

Chapter 10 — Web Remote Control
10-1 Introduction
Web Remote Control capabilities are embedded in the LMR Master, providing full instrument
control through any HTML-5 compatible browser. The ability to remotely monitor and control
the instrument from the ground or desk enhances operator safety and efficiency when
conditions make it unsafe or impractical to be close to the instrument. Login passwords can
be used to restrict access to authorized users only.
An Ethernet connection is required.
A remote connection terminates when the user logs out or closes the browser, or when the
session time duration requested at login expires. To prevent multi-user conflicts, only one
connection is permitted at a time. A second user who tries to log in will see a message
indicating the instrument is currently reserved by another client, with the time remaining in
their session.
While only one user can have control of the instrument, multiple users can view the same
instrument using a desktop sharing application.
10-2 Setup
You can connect one or more instruments to any computer with HTML-5 compatible browser.
Anritsu strongly recommends using Google Chrome, as other browsers do not fully support
HTML-5. The controlling device may be a laptop or a desktop computer or a mobile device,
including a wide range of tablets and smart phones running Android or iOS operating system.
Note, however, that you cannot download files to an iOS device, because it lacks a
user-accessible file system.
Physical connection is established from the instrument’s Ethernet port directly to the
computer, to a LAN, or a portable Wi-Fi router such as the ZyXEL MWR102 Portable Router.
LAN Connection
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the LMR Master to your LAN.
2. Press Shift followed by System (8).
3. Press the Status submenu key to display the Status window and take note of the
instrument IP address.
Press Esc to close the Status window.
4. If no IP address has been assigned, refer to Appendix 6, “Ethernet Connectivity” for
information on setting an IP address for the instrument. If connecting to another
network, Anritsu Company recommends that you request a static IP address from your
network administrator to avoid duplicate addresses.
Alternatively, you can set the instrument for dynamic IP addressing using DHCP.
Refer to “Ethernet Menu” on page 6-5. In a long distance network, however, it may be
difficult or impossible to determine what the current dynamic address is, after the
instrument is in the field.
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB 10-1

10-2 Setup Web Remote Control
5. Set instrument parameters as appropriate, such as measurement mode, frequency

range, amplitude. You may skip this step and set up the instrument remotely at a later
time, after Ethernet connection has been established.
6. Launch the Google Chrome browser on your PC, laptop, or mobile device. Due to
compatibility issues with HTML-5, do not connect using another browser than Chrome.
7. Enter the instrument IP address in the browser address bar to open the Web Remote
Control Login page illustrated in Figure 10-1 on page 10-3.
Connection to a Wi-Fi Portable Router

Instead of connecting the instrument directly to a LAN, you can connect it to a Wi-Fi router.
This section documents connection to the ZyXEL MWR102 Portable Router as an example.
1. Take note of the router’s SSID and pre-programmed password, which are found on a
sticker affixed to the router.
2. Using the Ethernet cable included with the router, connect one end to the black LAN
port and the other end to the test instrument’s Ethernet port.
3. Insert the Mini-B (small) end of the provided USB cable into the router and the Type-A
(larger) end of the cable into one of the USB ports of your test instrument.
4. Optionally, secure the router to the instrument body using a strip of Velcro or other
hook-and-loop fastener. You may also place the router in the instrument carrying case,
if it fits.
5. Use your computer’s Wi-Fi Network Connection utility to find the router. With the
ZyXEL MWR102 Portable Router, the SSID name will be ZyXEL followed by an
alphanumeric string unique to your particular router.
6. Connect to this SSID. When prompted, enter the router password noted in Step 1.
7. Set the IP address manually on the instrument. Refer to “Ethernet Menu” on page 6-5.
8. Launch the Google Chrome browser on your PC, laptop, or mobile device. Due to
compatibility issues with HTML-5, do not connect using another browser than Chrome.
9. Enter the instrument IP address in the browser address bar to open the Web Remote
Control Login page illustrated in Figure 10-1 on page 10-3.

Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the default mode, where the bitmap image of the instrument screen is
continually refreshed in the browser window. Click the single arrow button near the bottom
right of the page to return to Normal Mode from either Fast or Pause Mode. Clicking any tab
on the menu bar also returns to Normal Mode.
Fast Mode
Click the double arrow button to enter Fast Mode, where the update rate can be significantly
faster than Normal mode, especially over low bit-rate connections. Only the measurement
data (yellow trace) is continually updated. The main menu keys and submenu keys may look
different than in Normal Mode, but their functions are the same. Error messages are not
shown in Fast Mode.
Fast Mode is not available with some Spectrum Analyzer measurement types, in which case
the Fast Mode button is disabled. The button is not displayed when the measurement mode is
something other than Spectrum Analyzer.
While in Fast mode, if a measurement type is selected that Fast mode does not support, the
instrument will return to Normal mode.
Pause Mode
Clicking the Pause button turns the Communication Activity dot in the lower right-hand
corner to yellow. If the interface was in Normal Mode, this stops the instrument display from
refreshing in the browser window. If the interface was in Fast Mode, the trace measurement
stops updating. Click the single arrow or the double arrow button to resume remote
communications with the instrument in Normal or Fast Mode, respectively. The
Communication Activity dot then returns to green.
Communication Activity
The moving dot labeled Communication Activity, when green, indicates that ongoing

Fan Failure
The system has determined that the fan should be running due to the internal temperature of
the unit, but cannot detect that the fan is actually running.
It is important to keep the fan inlet and exhaust ports clear of obstructions. The cooling fan
will vary the speed in relation to the internal temperature of the instrument (refer to
Figure B-6). The fan will turn on at low speed when the internal temperature of the
instrument reaches 44ºC, and will increase the fan speed to maximum at 54ºC. As the
internal temperature of the instrument decreases, the fan will reduce speed until the
temperature reaches 39ºC, at which point the fan will turn off.

High Temp Warning

The internal temperature has reached an excessive level, 85ºC. Verify that the ventilation
openings are unobstructed and that the fan is running. Internal temperatures may be
manually verified by using the SELF TEST function. Turn off the unit and allow the
temperature to cool down. If the fault is not resolved and the internal temperature reaches
90ºC, then a countdown of 10 seconds will begin. The countdown gives the user a chance to
save the current setup before the instrument turns itself off (before internal temperatures
can cause any damage). If the error persists after removing any obstructions and allowing the
unit to cool, then reset to the factory defaults with “Factory Defaults Reset:” (Esc+On), or
“Master Reset:” (System+On).

Appendix C — Tower Mounted
Amplifiers
C-1 Introduction
A Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) can be used to amplify the received signal. There are
different types of TMA depending on the system requirements. Three commonly used types
are:
• TMA-D: A duplex tower mounted amplifier that combines transmit and receive ports
from the radio system and connects to a single antenna. This configuration is specific to
systems that use a single antenna configuration.
• TMA-S: A receive-only tower mounted amplifier is installed between the receiving
antenna and the radio to boost weak signals. This configuration is common on systems
that implement separate antennas for transmitting and receiving.
• TMA-DD: A dual-duplex tower mounted amplifier used for radios systems with a single
transmission line connection for transmit and receive. These systems are commonly
called transceivers.

Appendix D — Glossary of Terms
D-1 Introduction
The following terms are related to this product and its technology.
D-2 Glossary of Terms

3 dB rule : The 3 dB rule provides a means to estimate relative power values. A 3
dB gain indicates that power increases to twice the power (a multiple of
2). A 3 dB loss indicates that power decreases to half the power (a
multiple of 1/2). A system with 40 watts of input power and a 6 dB
insertion loss will have only 10†watts of output power (a multiple of 1/2
for each 3 dB loss, or 1/4 of 40 watts).
3GPP : The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration

agreement that was established in December, 1998. It is a co-operation
between ETSI (Europe), ARIB/TTC (Japan), CCSA (China), ATIS
(North America), and TTA (South Korea). The scope of 3GPP was to
make a globally applicable third generation (3G) mobile phone system
specification within the scope of the ITU’s IMT-2000 project. 3GPP
specifications are based on the evolved GSM specifications, now
generally known as the UMTS system.
Adapter : A fitting that supplies a passage between two sets of equipment when
they cannot be directly interconnected.
Adaptive Array
Antenna : Adaptive array antenna is a type of advanced ’smart’ antenna
technology that continually monitors a received signal and dynamically
adapts signal patterns to optimize wireless system performance. The
arrays use signal processing algorithms to adapt to user movement, to
changes in the radio-frequency environment, and to multi-path and
co-channel interference.
ADC : Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic device

that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. The
reverse operation is performed by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
ADC can uniquely represent all analog input values within a specified
total input range by a limited number of digital output codes. Refer also
to DAC.

D-2 Glossary of Terms Glossary of Terms
Adjacent Channel : Adjacent Channel is a channel or frequency that is directly above or

below a specific channel or frequency. First-adjacent is immediately
next to another channel, and second-adjacent is two channels away, and
so forth. Information on adjacent channels is used in keeping stations
from interfering with one another.
Adjacent channel
interference : Adjacent channel interference refers to signal impairment to one
frequency due to the presence of another signal on a nearby frequency.
AM : Amplitude Modulation (AM) uses amplitude variation in proportion to

the amplitude of the modulating signal, and is usually taken as DSB-LC
(Double-Sideband Large Carrier) for commercial broadcast
transmissions and DSB-SC (Double-Sideband Suppressed Carrier) for
multiplexed systems.
AMC : Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) is an alternative link

adaptation method in 3G mobile wireless communication. AMC
provides the flexibility to match the modulation-coding scheme to the
average channel conditions for each user. With AMC, the power of the
transmitted signal is held constant over a frame interval, and the
modulation and coding format is changed to match the current received
signal quality or channel conditions.
Analog System : An Analog system uses an analog transmission method to send voice,
video and data-using analog signals, such as electricity or sound waves,
that are continuously variable rather than discreet units as in digital
transmissions. Mobile analog systems include AMPS, NMT, and
ETACS.
Analog
Transmission : Analog Transmission refers to signals propagated through the medium
as continuously varying electromagnetic waves.
Antenna : Antenna is a device which radiates and/or receives radio signals,

including RF, microwave, and RADAR.
Antenna
beamwidth : Antenna beamwidth, also known as the half-power beamwidth, is the
angle of an antenna pattern or beam over which the relative power is at
or above 50% of the peak power.
D-2 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

Glossary of Terms D-2 Glossary of Terms
Antenna Directivity : Antenna directivity, also known as antenna gain, is the relative gain of
the main beam of an antenna pattern to a reference antenna, usually an
isotropic or standard dipole. Antenna Directivity is the percentage of
radiated signal transmitted or received in a given direction related to
beamwidth.
Antenna Efficiency : Antenna Efficiency is the percentage of theoretical gain actually

realized from an antenna.
Antenna Gain : Antenna gain, also known as antenna directivity, is the relative gain of
the main beam of an antenna pattern to a reference antenna, usually an
isotropic or standard dipole. Antenna Gain is the effectiveness of a
directional antenna expressed as the ratio of input power of the
directional antenna to input power of an isotropic radiator to provide
the same field strength in the desired direction. Sometimes related to a
dipole antenna.
Antenna, Isotropic : An isotropic antenna is a theoretical point source radiating a spherical

power envelope.
Antenna, Parabolic : A parabolic antenna is an antenna utilizing a reflector that is shaped as

a paraboloid in order to both concentrate the radiated signal into a
beam and to provide considerable gain. Beamwidth varies inversely and
gain varies directly with the size of the antenna and with frequency.
Attenuation : Attenuation refers to decreasing in signal magnitude between two

points. These points may be along a radio path, transmission line or
other devices.
Attenuator : Attenuator is a device specifically designed to decrease the magnitude

of a signal transmitted through it.
Average power : Average power is the peak power averaged over time and is usually
applied to pulsed systems where the carrier power is switched on and
off.
Band Pass Filter : A Band Pass Filter is a radio wave filter with a specific range of
frequencies in which it is designed to pass. It rejects frequencies outside
the pass-band range. A resistor-inductor-capacitor circuit is an example
of a Band Pass Filter.
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB D-3

Bandwidth : Bandwidth usually identifies the capacity of a circuit or amount of data

that can be sent through a given circuit. It may be user-specified in a
PVC. It is an indication of the amount of data that is passing over a
medium. Also, bandwidth is the portion of the frequency spectrum
required to transmit desired information. Each radio channel has a
center frequency and additional frequencies above and below this
carrier frequency which is used to carry the transmitted information.
The range of frequencies from the lowest to the highest used is called
the bandwidth.
BER : Bit Error Rate or Bit Error Ratio (link quality specification/testing)
(BER) is a measure of transmission quality. The ratio of error bits to the
total number of bits transmitted. A bit error rate of 10-6 refers to an
average of one error per million bits. It is generally shown as a negative
exponent, (for example, 10-7 which means 1 out of 107 bits are in error
or 1 out of 10,000,000 bits are in error). Bit Error Rate is the fraction of
a sequence of message bits that are in error.
BERT : Bit Error Rate Test/Tester (BERT) is a test that gauges the quality of
the T1 or digital line. By sending a known pattern to another device
across the span, the far end device can compare incoming pattern to its
own, thereby indicating bit errors on the line.
Bias Tee : A three-port network used to supply an isolated DC signal.
Broadband : Broadband refers to telecommunication that provides multiple channels

of data over a single communications medium, typically using some
form of frequency or wave division multiplexing. It is a service or
system requiring transmission channels capable of supporting rates
greater than the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) primary
rate.
C/I : Carrier-to-Interference ratio (C/I) is the ratio of power in an RF carrier

to the interference power in the channel.
D-4 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

Calibration : When making measurements, the instrument must be calibrated in

order to remove residual errors due to measurement setup conditions.
Anritsu recommends performing the calibration under the same
conditions as the measurement: temperature, frequency, number of
points, source power, and IFBW. Calibrations standards with known
reflection coefficients are used to calculate the correction factors. The
calibration must be conducted using the appropriate standards at the
open end of any test port cables and adapters that are connected to the
instrument. This ensures that the match, phase length, and loss of
these cables and adapters are all accounted for. For optimal
performance, high quality phase-stable cables and precision adapters
must be used.
Carrier Frequency : Carrier Frequency refers to the nominal frequency of a carrier wave, the
frequency of the unmodulated electrical wave at the output of an
amplitude modulated, the center frequency of a frequency modulation
signal, frequency modulated, or phase modulated transmitter of the
output of a transmitter when the modulation is zero.
Cell Site : Cell Site, also called Base Station, is the local cellular tower and radio
antenna (including the radios, controller, switch interconnect, etc.) that
handles communication with subscribers in a particular area or cell. A
cellular network is made up of many cell sites, all connected back to the
switch via landline or microwave.
Coaxial Cable : Coaxial Cable (Coax) is a type of electrical communications medium

used in the LAN environment. This cable consists of an outer conductor
concentric to an inner conductor, separated from each other by
insulating material, and covered by some protective outer material.
This medium offers large bandwidth, supporting high data rates with
high immunity to electrical interference and a low incidence of errors.
Coax is subject to distance limitations and is relatively expensive and
difficult to install.
Coupler : A coupler is a passive device used to split or combine a transmission

line.
CW : Continuous Wave (CW)
S412E UG PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB D-5

DANL : Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL): Displayed average noise level
is sometimes confused with the term Sensitivity. While related, these
terms have different meanings. Sensitivity is a measure of the
minimum signal level that yields a defined signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
or bit error rate (BER). It is a common metric of radio receiver
performance. Spectrum analyzer specifications are always given in
terms of the DANL. One of the primary uses of a spectrum analyzer is to
search out and measure low-level signals. The limitation in these
measurements is the noise generated within the spectrum analyzer
itself. This noise, generated by the random electron motion in various
circuit elements, is amplified by multiple gain stages in the analyzer
and appears on the display as a noise signal. On a spectrum analyzer,
this noise is commonly referred to as the Displayed Average Noise
Level, or DANL 1. While there are techniques to measure signals
slightly below the DANL, this noise power ultimately limits our ability
to make measurements of low-level signals.
dB : Decibel or deciBel (dB) is a logarithmic ratio of the difference between

two values (a logarithm ratio is equal to 10 times). dB is a unit for
measuring relative power ratios in terms of gain or loss. The units of dB
are expressed in terms of the logarithm to base 10 of a ratio and
typically are expressed in watts. For example, a -3 dB loss indicates a
50% loss in power; a +3 dB reading is a doubling of power; 10 dB
indicates an increase (or a loss) by a factor of 10; 20 dB indicates an
increase (or a loss) of a factor of 100; 30 dB indicates an increase (or a
loss) by a factor of 1000. Common values of dB expressed in ratios: 0 dB
= 1:1, 10 dB = 10:1, 20 dB = 100:1, 30 dB = 1000:1, -30 dB = 0.001:1 [or
(1/1000):1].
dBc : Decibels referenced to the carrier (dBc) is a technique for expressing a

power measurement in logarithmic form using the carrier power as a
reference. The units are used to describe how far down signals and noise
are relative to a known signal. Typical use of this term is to describe
spurious signals and noise compared to a desired transmit signal.
dBm : dBm is an absolute measurement of power relative to 1 milliwatt. In

other words, dBm is a decibel value referenced to a milliwatt (dBm).
This is a technique for expressing a power measurement in logarithmic
form using 1 mW as a reference. dBm is a decibel ratio (log 10) of Watts
(W) to one milliwatt (1mW). dBm, therefore, represents absolute power.
Examples are: 0 dBm = 1.0 milliwatt, 10 dBm = 10 milliwatt, 30 dBm =
1000 milliwatt = 1 watt.
Demodulate : To extract information from a transmitted (modulated) signal.

modulated signals, the difference between the maximum modulated
frequency and the base carrier frequency).
DHCP : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Directional Coupler : A Directional Coupler is a device to split an incident transmission into

two separate paths, and to absorb reflections from the sampled
(coupled) line.
Discriminator : A Discriminator is a demodulation circuit that is used to recover the

modulation from frequency modulated signals. A Discriminator
responds to frequency variations.
Distributed antenna
system : Distributed antenna system is a type of antenna system that is
distributed or remotely located away from the transmitter. Such an
antenna or series of antennas can be connected via coaxial cable, leaky
feeder, or optical fiber link.
DMR : Digital Mobile Radio (DMR)
DSP : Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Duplex : Duplex refers to two way communication.
EMF : Electromagnetic Field
FFT : Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an efficient algorithm to compute the

Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and its inverse. FFTs are of great
importance to a wide variety of applications, from digital signal
processing to solving partial differential equations to algorithms for
quickly multiplying large integers.

Flash Memory : Flash memory is a non-volatile solid state storage device that is
packaged as a chip. It can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is
primarily used in memory cards, USB flash drives, MP3 players, and
solid-state drives for general storage and transfer of data between
computers and other digital products. It is a specific type of EEPROM
(electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) that is erased
and programmed in large blocks.
FM : Frequency Modulation (FM) is a form of angle modulation in which the

instantaneous frequency of a sine-wave carrier is caused to depart from
the carrier frequency by an amount proportional to the instantaneous
value of the modulating wave. In FM, signals of different frequencies
represent different data values.
FM Modulation
Index : In FM modulated systems, the FM Modulation Index is the ratio of the
peak frequency deviation to the maximum modulating frequency. The
higher the index, the greater the received quality. M Modulation Index
= (peak frequency deviation / maximum modulation frequency)
FM Threshold : FM Threshold is the point at which the input signal power is just strong
enough to enable the receiver demodulator circuitry to successfully
detect and recover a good quality television picture from the incoming
video carrier.
GPS : The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation

satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time
information in all weather and at all times when and where an
unobstructed line of sight is available to four or more GPS satellites.
The system is maintained by the United States government and is
freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The Global Positioning
System is making it possible for people using ground receivers to
determine their geographic location within 10 meters to 100 meters.
The satellites use simple mathematical calculations to broadcast
information that is translated as longitude, latitude, and altitude by
Earth-based receivers.
Graticule : A reticle or grid.
Impedance : Impedance is a measure of RF component electrical resistance,

measured in ohms. In most cable and antenna systems, the standard
impedance is 50 ohms.
D-8 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

Insertion Loss : Insertion Loss (or Cable Loss) is a measure of the total amount of signal
energy absorbed (lost) by the cable assembly. It is measured in dB. S21
(an S-Parameter) is another name for this measurement.
IP Address : An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is usually a numerical label

that is assigned to each device (computer or printer for example) that is
participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for
communication. An IP address serves two main functions: location
addressing and host (or network) interface identification. The Internet
Protocol originally defined an IP address as a 32-bit number. This was
known as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), which is still in use.
Growth of the Internet requires a new addressing system. An Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) that uses 128 bits for the address was
developed in 1995, and it is standardized as RFC 2460. IPv6 began
being deployed worldwide in the year 2000. IP adresses are binary
numbers, but they are usually stored in text files and displayed in
human-readable notations, such as decimal nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn or
172.16.255.1 (for IPv4), and hexadecimal
nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn or
2C01:AB18:0:1234:FF03:567C:8:1 (for IPv6). In IPv4, each decimal
group (nnn) represents values from 000 to 255, or binary values of 8
bits. In IPv6, each hexadecimal group (nnnn) represents values from
0000 to FFFF, or binary values of 16 bits (0000 0000 0000 0000 to 1111
1111 1111 1111).
IPv6 : Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a numerical label that is used to

identify a network interface of a computer or other network node
participating in an IPV6-enabled computer network. IPv6 uses 128 bits
for the address (as compared to an IPv4 address, which is defined as a
32-bit number). Pv6 was developed in 1995, and it is standardized as
RFC 2460. V6 began being deployed worldwide in the year 2000. I
addresses are binary numbers, but they are usually stored in text files
and displayed in human-readable notations, such as hexadecimal
nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn or
2C01:AB18:0:1234:FF03:567C:8:1 (where FFFF [Hex] = 65535 [Dec]).
Ea hexadecimal group (nnnn) represents values from 0000 to†FFFF, or
binary values of 16 bits (0000 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111 1111).
IQ : In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) or (I/Q) IQ is a method of representing

digital modulation. Ll baseband signals can be represented by an I
(In-Phase) portion and a Q (Quadrature-Phase) portion. Vectors
describe the I and Q states (or equivalently the amplitude and phase) of
a signal, so that all possible information about that signal can be
derived from them. I†text files contain pairs of I/Q values for signals
that they represent. IQ modulators are 90†degrees out of phase with
each other. IQ modulation combines two channels of information into
one signal and then separates them later.

LMR : Land Mobile Radio
LST : Line Sweep tools (LST) is PC-based post-processing software that

efficiently manipulates line sweep and PIM traces for reporting
purposes.
LTE : Long Term Evolution (LTE), sometimes also referred to as 3G LTE or

Super-3G, is the 3GPP radio technology evolution architecture. Its full
name is UTRA-UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 3GPP System
Architecture Evolution (SAE). TE refers to a mobile technology upgrade
path for 3G networks that will provide faster data speeds and new
services through new radio access technology optimized for IP-based
traffic. E is part of the GSM evolutionary path beyond 3G, following
EDGE, UMTS/W-CDMA, and HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA combined). L
uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) on the
downlink to achieve high peak data rates in high spectrum bandwidth.
LT systems will coexist with 3G systems as well as 2G systems. Multi
mode devices will likely function across LTE/3G or even LTE/3G/2G,
depending on market circumstances.
LVD : Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
NBFM : Narrow Band Frequency Modulation
NF : Noise Figure (NF) is a measure of degradation of the signal-to-noise

ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a radio frequency (RF)
device. The noise factor (F) of a system is defined as the signal-to-noise
ratio of the input power of the system divided by the signal-to-noise
ratio of the output power of that system. F (the noise figure) is defined
as the decibel value of the noise factor. NF = 10log (F) where log uses
the base 10, or common log. This formula is valid only then the input
termination is at standard noise temperature.
NXDN : A narrowband frequency-domain multiple access communication

protocol.
OBW : Occupied Bandwidth (OBW) is a measure of the bandwidth containing

99% of the total integrated power of the transmitted spectrum, centered
on the assigned channel frequency. Interference to other channels or to

D-10 PN: 10580-00318 Rev. AB S412E UG

OSL : OSL or Open Short Load calibration method for coaxial line types.
Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients are used to
calculate the correction factors. Refer to Calibration. Compare this with
SSL or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load calibration method for
waveguide line types.
OSLT : OSLT or Open Short Load Thru calibration method for coaxial line
types. Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients are
used to calculate the correction factors. Refer to Calibration. Compare
this with SSLT or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load, Thru calibration
method for waveguide line types.
OTA : Over The Air (OTA): OTA refers generally to any transfer of information
or signal that takes place in a wireless environment, rather than using
a wired connection. OTA is usually used in connection with a standard
defining the provisioning of mobile devices and applications, such as
downloading or uploading content or software, and commonly used in
conjunction with the Short Messaging Service (SMS). SMS OTA
Messages contain information that is used to configure the settings of a
WAP browser in a mobile phone (refer to SMS and WAP).
P25 : An set of open interface communication standards.
PTC : Positive Train Control (PTC) is a system that provides railway safety
for trains and workers. The American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) organization describes PTC
as having the following primary characteristics: [1] train separation for
collision avoidance, [2] enforcement of line speeds, [3] temporary speed
restrictions, and safety of wayside rail workers. In PTC, movement
authority and train location (via GPS) are available by utilizing wireless
technologies.
Return Loss : Return Loss is a measurement (in dB) of reflected energy caused by
impedance mismatch. Return loss is the loss of power in the signal
returned/reflected by a discontinuity in a transmission line or optical
fiber. May also be referred to as S11. Although S11 values are expressed
as negative numbers, Return Loss values are expressed as positive
numbers because by definition the ìLossî expression implies a negative
sign. The higher the value, the better the impedance match (think of a
large negative number being less than a smaller negative number). 40
dB is nearly ideal. Only 0.01 % of the total transmitted power is
reflected if the Return Loss measurement value is 40 dB. A measured
value of 0 dB would be a complete reflection, or stated another way, 100
% of the transmitted power is reflected back. Return Loss is typically a
pass/fail measurement.

TMA : A Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) amplifies signals from an antenna

to reduce the signal to noise ratio of a base transceiver station (BTS).
This helps to improve the overall sensitivity of the BTS. A TMA is a
low-noise amplifier (LNA) that is usually mounted as close as practical
to the antenna in Base Transceiver Stations or in mobile masts. When
using a TMA, the antenna is able to receive weaker signals.
TTL : Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL)
VSWR : Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). VSWR is another method to

measure reflected energy caused by impedance mismatch. It is
expressed as a ratio of X:1. VSWR measures the voltage peaks and
valleys. A ratio of 1:1 would be a perfect match. A typical cable and
antenna system would be around 1.43:1 (VSWR) or 15 dB Return Loss.
Watt : Watt (W) is a unit of measure for power.
WiMax : Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax), is a popular

name of the 802.16 wireless metropolitan-area network standard,
including both 802.16-2004 for fixed WiMAX and 802.16-2005 for mobile
WiMAX. WiMax has a range of up to 31 miles. Data rates for WiMax
can reach up to 75 Mbps (Fixed) or 15 Mbps (Mobile). A number of
wireless signaling options exist ranging anywhere from the 2 GHz
range up to 66 GHz. WiMax is primarily aimed at making broadband
network access widely available without the expense of stringing wires
(as in cable-access broadband) or the distance limitations of Digital
Subscriber Line. WiMax technology can deliver high-speed Internet
access to rural areas and other locations. WiMax also offers an
alternative to satellite Internet services.
