General Information

Introduction

This chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories, pre

-

ventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Site Master™ models S331D and

S332D. Throughout this manual, the term Site Master will refer to the S331D and S332D.

Model

Frequency Range

S331D

S332D

Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode: 25 to 4000 MHz

Spectrum Analyzer Mode: 100 kHz to 3000 MHz

Description

The Site Master model S331D is a hand held cable and antenna analyzer. The Site Master

model S332D is a hand held cable, antenna, and spectrum analyzer. Both models include a

keypad to enter data and a liquid crystal display (LCD) to provide graphic indications of

various measurements.

The Site Master is capable of up to 1.5 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged

field-replaceable battery and can be operated from a 12.5 Vdc source. Built-in energy con-

servation features can be used to extend battery life.

The Site Master is designed for measuring SWR, return loss, cable insertion loss and locat-

ing faulty RF components in antenna systems. The Site Master model S332D includes spec-

trum analysis capabilities including carrier-to-interference analysis.

The displayed trace can be scaled or enhanced with frequency markers or limit lines. A

menu option provides for an audible “beep” when the limit value is exceeded. To permit

use in low-light environments, the LCD contrast and backlight intensity can be adjusted.

Standard Accessories

The Handheld Software Tools PC-based software program provides a database record for

storing measurement data. Software Tools can also convert the Site Master display to a

Microsoft Windowsä 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP workstation graphic. Measurements stored

in the Site Master internal memory can be downloaded to the PC using the included

null-modem serial cable. Once stored, the graphic trace can be displayed, scaled, or en

-

hanced with markers and limit lines. Historical graphs can be overlaid with current data,

and underlying data can be extracted and used in spreadsheets or for other analytical tasks.

The Handheld Software Tools program can display measurements made with the Site Mas

-

ter (SWR, return loss, cable loss, distance-to-fault, field strength, occupied bandwidth,

channel power, adjacent channel power and interference analysis) as well as providing

other functions, such as converting display modes and Smith charts. Refer to Chapter 9,

Handheld Software Tools, for more information.

Table 1-1. Performance Specifications (5 of 5)

Preventive Maintenance

Site Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and clean

-

ing the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories.

Clean the Site Master with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild

cleaning solution.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abra

-

sive cleaners.

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alco

-

hol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N (f) connectors and the pins of the

N (m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether

the connectors are good, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct.

Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance,

not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

Calibration

The Site Master is a field portable unit operating in the rigors of the test environment. An

Open-Short-Load (OSL) calibration, InstaCal calibration, FlexCal calibration with

open-short-load, or FlexCal calibration with an InstaCal module should be performed prior

to making a measurement in the field (see Calibration, page 3-2). A built-in temperature

sensor in the Site Master advises the user when the internal temperature has exceeded a

measurement accuracy window, and the user is advised to perform another calibration in or-

der to maintain the integrity of the measurement.

NOTES:

For best calibration results—compensation for all measurement uncertain

-

ties—ensure that the Open/Short/Load is at the end of the test port or optional

extension cable; that is, at the same point that you will connect the antenna or

device to be tested.

For best results, use a phase stable Test Port Extension Cable (see Optional

Accessories). If you use a typical laboratory cable to extend the Site Master test

port to the device under test, cable bending subsequent to the OSL calibration

will cause uncompensated phase reflections inside the cable. Thus, cables

which are NOT phase stable may cause measurement errors that are more pro

-

nounced as the test frequency increases.

For optimum calibration, Anritsu recommends using precision calibration com

-

ponents.

Chapter 1 General Information

InstaCal Module

The Anritsu InstaCal module can be used in place of discrete components to calibrate the

Site Master. The InstaCal module can be used to perform an Open, Short and Load (OSL)

or a FlexCal calibration procedure. Calibration of the Site Master with the InstaCal takes

approximately 45 seconds (see Calibration, page 3-2). Unlike a discrete calibration compo

-

nent, the InstaCal module can not be used at the top of the tower to conduct load or inser

-

tion loss measurements. The module operates from 2 MHz to 4 GHz and weighs eight

ounces.

Anritsu recommends annual verification of the InstaCal module to verify performance with

precision instrument data. The verification may be performed at a local Anritsu Service

Center or at the Anritsu factory.

Annual Verification

Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Site Master

and the OSL calibration components and InstaCal module by local Anritsu service centers.

Anritsu service centers are listed in Table 1-2 on the following page.

The Site Master itself is self-calibrating, meaning that there are no field-adjustable compo

nents. However, the OSL calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibra-

tion and therefore, must be verified periodically to ensure performance conformity. This is

especially important if the OSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or

over-torqued.

ESD Precautions

The Site Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to ESD damage.

Very often, coaxial cables and antennas build up a static charge, which, if allowed to dis-

charge by connecting to the Site Master, may damage the Site Master input circuitry. Site

Master operators should be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary

precautions. Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards like

JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and

ESDS devices, equipment, and practices.

As these apply to the Site Master, it is recommended to dissipate any static charges that

may be present before connecting the coaxial cables or antennas to the Site Master. This

may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna

prior to attaching to the Site Master. It is important to remember that the operator may also

carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above

standards will insure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

Mode References

The term “VNA” in reference to the Site Master denotes cable and antenna analyzer modes.

The term “SPA” in reference to the Site Master denotes Spectrum Analyzer mode. All other

modes are referenced individually.

Functions and Operations

Introduction

This chapter provides a brief overview of the Site Master functions and operations, provid

-

ing the user with a starting point for making basic measurements. For more detailed infor

-

mation, refer to the specific chapters for the measurements being made.

The Site Master is designed specifically for field environments and applications requiring

mobility. As such, it is a lightweight, handheld, battery operated unit which can be easily

carried to any location, and is capable of up to 1.5 hours of continuous operation from a

field replaceable battery for extended time in the field. Built-in energy conservation fea

-

tures allow battery life to be further extended. The Site Master can also be powered by a

12.5 Vdc external source. The external source can be either the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter

(P/N 40-163) or 12.5 Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-62). Both items

are standard accessories.
