Coverage Mapping

Knowledge Hub

Need to do Coverage Mapping? Then you know there are various techniques for quickly conducting the coverage mapping survey and ensuring a true outcome of signal strength measurements and detailed maps of system coverage. Here's our top content to help you tackle challenges like understanding the different requirements for indoor and outdoor coverage mapping, performing coverage mapping in locations without GPS (such as tunnels or inside buildings) and adding geolocation data for locations without GPS data.

Indoor & Outdoor Radio Coverage Mapping MS2090A & NEON: Fast Channel Scanning

This video will show viewers the step-by-step process on how to setup indoor and outdoor coverage mapping on an android device using the Field Master Pro MS2090A and NEON software. It will demonstrate the fast channel scanning and introduce and describe the Field Master Pro MS2090A and NEON software to perform both indoor and outdoor radio coverage mapping. The measurement data collected can be gathered by walking or driving.

Coverage Mapping with GPS

Spectrum analyzers provide accurate RF power measurements over a wide frequency range. With an antenna attached, RF power measurement becomes Received Signal Strength (RSSI). RSSI measurements can be combined with on-screen map displays to become a very versatile solution for mapping the coverage of RF transmitters.

Field Test In-Building Wireless

In this video, learn how to overcome building structure, low emissivity glass, adjacent buildings and other RF barriers that can adversely affect in-building wireless systems.

Multi Channel Indoor and Outdoor RF coverage with the MS2090A Spectrum Analyzer

This video describes how to associate the Anritsu MS2090A spectrum analyzer and the NEON tracker device of TRX Systems. A real example of 7 RF channels in the 2100MHz band is provided so that the user would understand how he would be able to use the NEON tracker both indoor and outdoor to perform RF coverage measurements with the MS2090A connected to an Android device (over WiFi).

Unique 3D In-Building Coverage Mapping Solution

The role of enforcing in-building public safety needs (e.g., # occupants in a room) typically falls to the local fire marshal’s staff. They rely on building codes and standards from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Wireless communications standards are covered under NFPA 72 and NFPA 1221. Both standards prescribe periodic measurements to assure communications.

New Approach to Perform 5G Outdoor Coverage Mapping

This webinar introduces a new simple way to make 5G outdoor radio coverage mapping measurements using an MS2090A spectrum analyzer and NEON Signal Mapper. We also review the different radio signals that need to be decoded and demodulated to quantify the quality of the transmission of the 5G network.

Coverage Mapping with GPS

In this application note, you will learn how to fully operate the instrument in accordance to the coverage mapping with GPS process. This type of mapping requires Option 31, GPS (with the exception of the BTS Master, where it is standard), and an external GPS antenna. The GPS receiver will automatically pinpoint your location relative to the map.

In-building Mapping with the Anritsu S412E LMR Master and the MA8100A Series TRX NEON Signal Mapper

In-building Mapping with the Anritsu S412E LMR Master and the MA8100A Series TRX NEON Signal Mapper

Facility managers often need to verify Public Safety, Broadcast and Personal communications systems operate throughout the facility. Point location measurements of spectrum analyzer displays are commonly used to document signal levels. The Anritsu S412E combined with the MA8100A Series 3D signal mapping solution provides a powerful in-building mapping solution so users can easily make measurements and create detailed maps and reports of in-building coverage.

Radio Frequency Coverage Mapping

Radio Frequency Coverage Mapping

The ideal combination for indoor and outdoor, multi-frequency radio coverage mapping measurements. This application note explains how to build and use a radio frequency coverage mapping test system utilizing Anritsu's Remote Spectrum Monitor MS27101A, Vision MX280001A software, and NEON Signal Mapper MA8100A solutions.

Validating In-Building Wireless Coverage

Validating In-Building Wireless Coverage

The MS27101A-IBCM In-Building Coverage Mapper solution is a complete software and hardware package that allows easy coverage mapping of single or multi-story buildings. It overcomes a major challenge of doing an in-building coverage exercise as it does not require a GPS signal to do its testing. This give the solution the ability to provide coverage mapping of traditionally difficult areas such as stairwells, elevators, and other areas critical to public safety requirements.

3D Mapping System Helps Engineering Firm Efficiently Install IBW in Seattle Schools

Engineers responsible for designing and installing In Building Wireless (IBW) networks have longed for tools to help them do their jobs better and more efficiently. For one engineering firm in the Pacific Northwest, utilizing the Anritsu LMR Master™ S412E handheld analyzer with the MA8100A TRX NEON Signal Mapper provided them with considerable advantages over traditional signal mapping methods that require a GPS signal, which is usually unreliable – at best – or more commonly unavailable indoors. By using this innovative system, the engineering team was able to complete the project faster so schools could open on schedule
