2 INSITE Free is a compact measurement system for narrow band analysis. The system is composed of a probe connected to a switch/amplification box. The system also requires a spectrum analyzer. These elements can be operated either manually or remotely through INSITE Free software. The SW enables the user to define his measurement scenarios, to analyze measurements, review the results graphically and to generate automatically reports into Excel format. The switch enables successive selections of the three measurement axes to obtain an isotropic result without changing the position of the probe. As it is equipped with an amplifier, the switch also improves the sensitivity of the system over the 1 KHz to 3 MHz frequency band. Associated with a GPS or with the GPS function of an analyzer and used with ISSBA module, INSITE Free allows the measured levels to be represented on a scanned map or on a Microsoft Map Point format. Description of the measurement chain RF link Spectrum analyzer Switch Probe Computer Measurement scenarios can be defined by the user to fit specific requirements ➊ INSITE Free SW is a fl exible tool that can be confi gured by the user to perform measurements and generate reports according to specifi c measurement protocols, in particular those recommended by ECC. ➋ In addition, for the French market, INSITE Free/ ANFR SW follows the protocol v2.1 of the French National Agency of Frequencies (ANFR) step by step. STEP 1: Choose hardware confi guration. In this fi rst phase, the user programs the measurement session according to his own hardware confi guration: spectrum analyzer, GPS, probe, cable, UMTS scanner and switch. For this purpose the probe, cable and switch calibration fi les are selected and loaded. INSITE Free works with all the most frequently used spectrum analyzers.* Spectrum analyzer without UMTS scanning ANRITSU: MS2711A/D, MS2661B, S332D, MT8212B, Rohde & Schwarz: FSH3/6 WILLTEK 911/912 AGILENT: ESA series, 856xEC series Spectrum analyzer with UMTS scanning ANRISTU: MT822A, MS2721B, MT8222A AGILENT: E7495B * drivers for additional analyzers can be developed upon request SATIMO RF Safety/ EMF measurement 3.28 General Public 23

3 STEP 2: Defi ne measurement scenario Once the hardware has been confi gured, the user can program the measurement scenarios: Choose frequency bands to be measured from a list or create user-defi ned bands. Defi ne the channels or specifi c carriers. Defi ne channel width. Choose attenuation mode. Choose analysis mode (peaks, TDMA or UMTS). Choose automatic or manual defi nition of RBW/VBW. TDMA Analysis CW Analysis W-CDMA Analysis Selection of BCCH for TDMA Analysis STEP 4: Visualize results. The results can be visualized with the following functions: Full scan or per frequency band. Zoom in with peak identifi cation threshold. 3 types of scale for a better high and low band visualization. Quick view of element s properties. STEP 3: Perform measurement analysis. The data collected for each band is presented on the main window of the software. Measurements corresponding to each of the three axes can be displayed in order to check the polarisation of the electric fi eld. Depending on the characteristics of the spectrum analyzer, the user can repeat the following analysis modes: CW Analysis: selection of peaks according to predefi ned threshold. TDMA analysis: extrapolation of the level that corresponds to BCCH. W-CDMA analysis: UMTS decoding (measurement and extrapolation of the CPICH value). The user can re-launch measurements using specifi c detection modes (positive peak, negative peak, sample ) and measurement modes (Max. hold, Min. hold, and average) available with the spectrum analyzer. Sessions are saved in XML and results can be exported into Excel. The results can be compared to the reference levels given by specifi c guidelines. Two guidelines are available by default: ICNIRP Safety Code 6 (Other reference levels can be added upon request). high performance isotropic probes to cover the 1 KHz to 6 GHz frequency ranges Two probes are available: one covers the 1 KHz - 3 GHz, the other 2 GHz - 6 GHz frequency range. Both probes are made of three orthogonal monopoles. The patented shape of each monopole optimizes the functioning and isotropy of the probe over the entire frequency range. 24 General Public SATIMO RF Safety/ EMF measurement 3.28
