Copper Mountain Technologies Preventative Maintenance of Wireless Infrastructure with a PC-Driven VNA A App Note

Copper Mountain Technologies has available an app note titled ‘Preventative Maintenance of Wireless Infrastructure with a PC-Driven VNA A’.

The following application profile details information available in the app note:

Wireless infrastructure encompasses a broad range of radio technologies, antennas, towers and frequencies.

Radio networks are built from this infrastructure and from mobile radios - the radios used by municipal and commercial customers to communicate over licensed frequency bands.

Typical end-user applications of such systems include local and regional law enforcement, highway and local maintenance dispatch, ambulance and fire service dispatch, and federal law enforcement communications.

Wireless infrastructure is often remotely located and difficult to access - or may be completely inaccessible - due to adverse weather conditions. It is critical to perform regular maintenance like visual inspection and RF testing of exterior cabling and antennas, and testing and adjustment of radios and combining networks. Maintenance is performed on two types of links: the RF radio networks and the microwave links that provide backhaul.
