Spectrum Analyzer Measurements

3-19 Coverage Mapping (Option 431)

Coverage Mapping (Option 431) provides signal strength mapping on the instrument display and will plot
color-coded signal values at GNSS (GPS) coordinates for the following measurements:
• Channel Power: The total power within the set channel bandwidth.
• Spectral Density: The measure of the signal power content versus frequency.
• RSSI: The received signal strength indicator mode represents the amount of the received power level of
the radio signal, after antenna and cable gains/losses.
The Coverage Mapping option for outdoor signal mapping requires an active GPS antenna to be
connected to the instrument. Offline maps will need to be uploaded to the instrument if an Internet

Refer to the previous sections in this chapter for details and menu overviews of general spectrum analysis
measurements including setting up frequency and bandwidth parameters, sweep settings, trigger types,
attenuator options, and preamp settings. Once the basic measurement is set up, select the coverage mapping
measurement via MEASURE > MEASUREMENT > Coverage Mapping. Once coverage mapping is selected,
start the mapping measurement via MEASURE > START MEAS.
