APPLICATION NOTEInterference Hunting
The challenge for most systems that employ some form of
mask testing is actually creating the mask itself. SignalVu-
PC takes care of this by providing a means of automatically
creating the mask based on the trace the user defines.
Essentially you can create a “golden signal” and use this as a
template for SignalVu-PC to create the mask condition. In the
figure below, a mask violation has occurred in red on the mask,
and a picture of the screen was saved as a result.
Direction Finding
Direction finding and signal strength measurements are
quick and easy with SignalVu-PC software. In the illustration
below, using the available Alaris smart antenna, a compass
continuously monitors antenna direction while the signal
strength monitor performs measurements and provides audio
indication of signal strength. When combined with the MAP
option for SignalVu-PC, signal strength and azimuth are
automatically placed on the map of your choice.
The SignalVu-PC MAP application enables interference
hunting and location analysis to quickly zero in on the area of
uncertainty. An azimuth function that lets you draw a line or
an arrow on a mapped measurement to indicate direction, or
use the available Alaris smart antenna with automated azimuth
placement.
