Antenna Performance in LMR Systems Using PL Tone Analysis
Kumar, Akshay / Ellingson, Steven
The in situ or on-site measurement of antenna performance is very challenging in analog Land Mobile Radio (LMR) FM systems. It turns out that the conventional antenna gain measurement techniques are hard and also not quite relevant for understanding the in situ performance. In this work, we present a a novel approach for directly measuring the in situ performance of antennas in analog LMR systems.The procedure involves receiving an FM signal s...
