Clean the Site Master with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.
Page 17: Rf Input Warning
The instrument will require a new calibration if the internal instrument temperature changes more than ±20 ºC after calibration. Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Site Master by local Anritsu service centers. Anritsu service also recommends a semi-annual verification of OSL calibration components. S331L UG...
Page 18: Secure Environment Workplace
1-5 Secure Environment Workplace General Information The Site Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-adjustable components. The OSL calibration components and the Internal InstaCal are crucial to the integrity of the user 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.

S21 is another name for this measurement. This is often a pass/fail measurement. Return Loss: Measurement in dB of reflected energy caused by impedance mismatch.
Page 54: Overview
3-3 Overview Cable and Antenna Measurements Overview What is Measured? Line sweeping is a quality measure of the transmission lines and/or antenna system. Systems may include cables, connectors, lightning protectors, tower mounted amplifiers, and antennas (Figure 3-2). Line sweeping can measure the power losses in the system at the functional frequencies and measures system impedance and confirms whether the system meets carrier specifications.
Page 55: Why Measure
Cable and Antenna Measurements 3-3 Overview The Site Master does not measure system linearity (PIM Testing). Anritsu also sells the PIM Master available Note in several carrier bands that does test for passive intermodulation. Why Measure? The basic goal of a wireless communication system is to transfer the...
Page 56: Line Sweeping
3-3 Overview Cable and Antenna Measurements Line Sweeping System performance issues are seen in two ways: excessive reflections (more common) caused by impedance mismatches or excessive insertion losses (less common) caused by energy dissipated in the connectors or cables.

OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL), which are sold separately. Alternatively, you can use the internal InstaCal. The external InstaCal Calibration Module is NOT compatible with the Site Master S331L. For Transmission measurements, the external USB sensor itself is used as part of the calibration step, and no additional components are needed.
Page 59: Line Sweep Measurements
Cable and Antenna Measurements 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements Anritsu recommends allowing the S331L to warm up for 5 minutes to typical operation temperature before calibrating. Note The instrument will require a new OSL calibration if the internal instrument temperature changes more than 20 ºC after calibration.
Page 60 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements Cable and Antenna Measurements Return Loss measures the reflected power of the system in decibels (dB). This measurement can also be taken in the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) mode, which is the ratio of voltage peaks to voltage valleys caused by reflections.

Page 63: Dtf Measurement
Cable and Antenna Measurements 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements DTF Measurement Distance-To-Fault (DTF) measurements are made with the antenna disconnected and replaced with a 50 Ω precision load at the end of the transmission line. This measurement allows analysis of the various components of the transmission feed line system in the DTF mode.
Page 64 Incorrect propagation velocity values affect the distance accuracy, and inaccurate cable attenuation values affect the accuracy of the amplitude values. The Site Master S331L is equipped with a cable list (Freq/Dist > DTF Setup > Cable List) including most of the common cables currently used.
Page 65 Line Sweep Tools (LST). Instructions for using the LST Cable Editor are available in the software Help menu. The latest version of LST is available from the Anritsu web site: http://www.anritsu.com/. The name, propagation velocity, and cable loss of the selected cable are displayed below the trace window during distance measurements (Measurement >...
Page 66 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements Cable and Antenna Measurements Distance Resolution Distance resolution is the Site Master’s ability to separate two closely spaced discontinuities. If the resolution is 5 meters and there are two faults 3 meters apart, the Site Master will not be able to show both faults until the resolution is improved by widening the frequency span.
Page 67 Cable and Antenna Measurements 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements Windowing The theoretical requirement for inverse FFT is for the data to extend from zero frequency to infinity. Side lobes appear around a discontinuity because the spectrum is cut off at a finite frequency. Windowing reduces the side lobes by smoothing out the sharp transitions at the beginning and the end of the frequency sweep.
Page 68 3-4 Line Sweep Measurements Cable and Antenna Measurements Rectangular Nominal Minimum Figure 3-13. Effects of Windowing on a Sample Trace DMax (Maximum Usable Distance) DMax is the maximum horizontal distance that can be analyzed. The Stop Distance cannot exceed DMax. If the cable is longer than DMax, DMax needs to be improved by increasing the number of data points or lowering the frequency span (ΔF).

Anritsu recommends connecting a phase-stable test port cable (3 meters maximum length) to the RF Out/Reflect In connector and calibrating at the open end of the cable using the Site Master S331L internal InstaCal or external OSL components. Calibrating at the end of the test port cable will remove ripple and loss associated with the cable.

Page 177: Calibration Methods
Calibration 7-2 Calibration Methods Calibration Methods For accurate results, the instrument must be calibrated before Note making any measurements. The instrument must be re-calibrated whenever the internal instrument temperature exceeds the calibration temperature window (±20 ºC) or when the test port extension cable is removed or replaced. Unless the calibration type is Flex Cal, the instrument must also be re-calibrated every time the frequency range changes.
Page 178 7-2 Calibration Methods Calibration While OSL Cal tee, InstaCal, or Tranmission (Ext. Sensor) provide alternatives for the tools needed to perform the calibration, Standard Cal or Flex Cal determines the calibration frequency range. The default standard calibration is for a selected frequency range, and is no longer valid if the frequency is changed.
Page 179: Calibration Procedures
Calibration 7-3 Calibration Procedures Calibration Procedures In Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode, calibration is required when the “Cal Status Off” or “Cal Status X” message is displayed or when the test port cable has been changed.

The calibration coefficients are saved and can be reapplied by setting Cal Correction back to On.
