Within tis frequency range, the NM-30A equipment investigates, analyzes, monitors and measures conducted radiated RF energy to the highest practical degree of accuracy. ‘The equipment measures rms ‘of sine wave signals. It ako readily measures quasi-peak and peak values of complex wave- forms including pulsed RF, and broadband interference signals. APPLICATIONS: “Applications include spectrum signature performance tests; interference measurement for mili tary and commercial acceptance tests; RF energy surveillance and monitoring: verification of the electronic compatibility of modera weapon systems, Le., misile fring and guidance, com- puter, telemetering and communications; range safety determination at missile sites; frequency conservation and allocation studies; performing measurements required by FCC ‘regulations governing restricted and incidental radiation devices; antenna propagation studies; Reld in tensity surveys; the measurement of clectro-mechanical devices, transmitting. and. receiving equipment, and virtually any device, equipment or system capable of producing radiated or conducted RF energy in conjunction with other test equipment, as an ancillary instrument to ‘measure attenuation, insertion loss, impedance, ete.
