Re: How to measure induced coupling RF between two antennas #measurement #nanovna-h4


 

Hi Marv,

The previous reply showed you that the signal level in the second antenna would be -9 dBm.

Normal signal level calibration for a receiver is a S9 signal is 50 microvolts at the antenna, in dBm this is -73 dBm.

Your signal level of -9 dBm is 64 dB above that. That would read S9+64dB on you S meter.

Some S meters read S9+40 some S9+60. This would be full scale on you S meter and more.

This may be close to the receiver overload point.

If your receiver has built in attenuator, I would select 20dB or 40 dB or more to get the signal to where the receiver can comfortably handle it.

Hope this helps
