For this reason, the cable loss is not taken into account automatically when other cables are
used, and the results are not shown automatically in units of field strength if other antennas
are used.
When using other components, you will need to enter the data for the cable and antenna
into the SignalShark manually.
Connecting cables and antennas directly to the device
The configuration data for the components have been uploaded and selected.
Connect the component(s) to the RF input of the SignalShark.
Connecting third party antennas to the handle
Antennas fitted with a N-connector can also be used as directional antennas with the Narda
handle by means of the Antenna Adapter 3100/15.
To connect the antenna:
The configuration data for the antenna have been uploaded.
1. Connect the handle to the SignalShark (see
2. Connect the N-connector of the third party antenna to the antenna adapter. When you do
this, make sure that the antenna is screwed on to correspond with the polarization
direction shown on the adapter (i.e. antenna dipole position is in the direction of the
arrow).
3. Connect the antenna adapter to the antenna handle.
The device will indicate the correct polarization H or V in Direction Finding mode (not yet
implemented).
4. Select the antenna you are using.
The device remembers the last third party antenna that was used with the antenna
adapter and selects this automatically when it is plugged in. Check that the correct
antenna is displayed before making measurements.
