Thanks for all of the feedback.   For clarification, the LMR400 cable was 140 feet and was the only cable that connected the analyzer to the antenna.   I am familiar with the IDU and ODU configuration of the Redline equipment.   This test was to see what 5.8 RF was present. The cust

Redline itself, does not have spectrum analasys capability, from what I understood. Generally Redline user can use it to see if their radio can work well on a channel, by looking for loss, and what channel worksbest. but the fact that the Redline smashes through 5.8G fine does not mean that othe

Another thought is maybe it was alvarion gear or some thing similar that uses a frequency converter at the antenna. I think they get fed with a small cable. George -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http

Cliff, Are you sure the first 140' was RG6? I think that is 75 ohm cable so that may be a problem, if it was something else it still might have too much loss at 5.8 GHz to get any signal to the SA. You may be on to something with the adapters, if they were just using good quality N-Type fo

With 140 ft of LMR-400 at 5.8GHz, the loss is about 15db.  With a good antenna topside, you might get some usable results, but not good ones For the RG6, I can't find any loss specs for freq. above 900MHz.  At 900MHz, the loss is about 10db for 140 ft.  Extrapolating that to 5.8GHz, I esti

www.timesmicrowave.com Go to the online calculator and figure up the losses on your cable. Be sure to set the freq at 5800 mhz. I'd not even count the connectors as loss, they are usually in the .1 to .5 range. But for a survey adding 1dB of loss per connector is safe. As I read this they
