APPLICATIONS
Mobile Metering MARCH2008
PAQ4411.1
RF coverage metering
To attain a record of what the real-world contours of stations look like
To compare signal with auxiliary, competitors, and itself
To check and adjust antenna patterns
To correlate real field readings with prediction data
To determine whether or not one station or transmitter site is worth buying by verifying published contours
Applications
Mobile Metering MARCH2008
PAQ4411.1
Portable modulation monitor
To check if levels comply with regulation authority recommendations
To adjust sound processing and establish sound identity all over the FM radio network
To improve audio quality facing competition
To check SCA and analyze RDS
