Overview
The VIAVI CAA06M CAA Modules are compact modular cable and antenna analyzers covering 12.5 MHz to 6 GHz. They install on the CellAdvisor 5G (CA5000) and OneAdvisor 800 platforms and are used to characterize and verify cell site installations.
Most problems in mobile networks occur in cell site infrastructure such as antennas, cables, amplifiers, filters, connectors, combiners and jumpers. Combined with the test functions of the host platform, the modules support cell site technicians in installation verification and maintenance.
The modules characterize and verify feed line systems and verify antenna or sector-to-sector isolation. Standard modes include reflection, distance to fault, 1-port cable loss and phase, cable delay, Smith chart and CAA Check; 2-port transmission and RF source are optional software modes.
Two versions are available: the CAA06MA module, and the CAA06MB module with bias power and an external bias-tee. CellAdvisor 5G users require the CA5000-DMC dual module carrier; modules are auto-detected by the main instrument when mounted to the carrier.
