SIC (US 1987) : RF test antennas and selective filters for the broadcast engineer AM and fm broadcast stations are required by the FCC to make periodic signal integrity measurements, some of which are designed by the National Radio Systems Committee. The instrument of choice is the spectrum analyzer coupled to a suitable antenna. While approximate AM readings are sometimes obtained with "whip" antennas, the severe impedance mismatch and lack of calibration yield imprecise results. Harmonic measurements require that a known antenna factor be employed to convert spectrum analyzer input voltage to field intensity units. The industry standardprovides this calibration. Another key tool is thefilter, which is often necessary to eliminate errors when measuring harmonics with a spectrum analyzer. Frequently, internal non-linearities create artificially high harmonic or spurious indications when the fundamental carrier is unsuppressed.
By "notching" the primary frequency, reliable accuracy is ensured. Our low-loss port on the am notch filter allows measurement forays well below -80 dBc at +- 75 kHz, which are required when conducting NRSC tests on stations with power levels of 5 kw and above. See
harmonic measurements, we offer a to attenuate the FM band while passing harmonics. The completely shielded designs provide ultimate stop-band attenuation.
