RF Site Survey
An RF site survey is conducted for the purpose of identifying all or most of the signals present in a local region. It is conducted by monitoring the radio spectrum using a spectrum analyzer or other RF receiving equipment. The information obtained aids a radio system designer in configuring his equipment to avoid either causing or receiving radio interference. A survey can be a quick look (one day sample), or involve extended monitoring over days or weeks. The survey equipment may be locally manned or remotely controlled over the internet at some distance form the location of interest.
