AN INVESTIGATION INTO EXISTING CALIBRATION METHODS OF FIELD INTENSITY METERS.

Abstract

The investigation described herein is concerned with the interpretation of the readings taken on radar type signals with Field Intensity Meters. The investigation develops the theory of impulse noise calibration and then shows the relationship of noise calibration to pulsed RF signals. The relationship of Field Intensity meter bandwidth with respect to the pulse width of the RF signal is discussed. Recommendations are made concerning variable bandwidth. The relative merits of calibration sources are discussed. The feasibility of utilizing a pan-adapter to predetermine spectral content of signals prior to calibration of FIM is discussed. (Author)
