is selected.
Distance to Fault
1-port reflection measurement that uses Inverse Fourier
o
Transform (IFT) calculations to determine and display the distance to, and
relative size of, a fault or disruption in the transmission line. Units are in
return loss format, expressed as a positive number in dB, unless the
measurement selected is DTF (VSWR). Learn more about DTF Measurements
on page 30.
Return Loss & DTF
Displays both a Return Loss measurement and a DTF
o
measurement. Use this format to display the frequency settings that are used
to make the DTF measurement. The frequency range settings for these two
measurements can be coupled or uncoupled. Learn more on page 22.
o Calibrations are applied to both traces.
o When in Hold mode and Single sweep is performed, only the active trace
is triggered. Use the ▲|▼ arrows to activate a trace.
Return Loss
1-port reflection measurement that displays the amount of
o
incident signal energy MINUS the amount of energy that is reflected. The
higher the trace is on the screen, the more energy being reflected back to the
FieldFox. Learn how to measure Return Loss on page 26.
VSWR
(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio – also known as SWR) 1-port reflection
o
measurement that displays the ratio of the maximum reflected voltage over
the minimum reflected voltage. The higher the trace is on the screen, the
more energy being reflected back to the FieldFox.
DTF (VSWR)
Distance to Fault in VSWR format.
