Measurement scenarios can be
defi ned by the user to fi t specifi c
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 measu-
rement 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 of the most frequently used
spectrum analyzers.
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 W-CDMA).
• Choose automatic or manual defi nition of RBW/VBW.
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 BCCH value.
• 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.
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.
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).
