RF ANTENNA SECTOR MONITORING DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring FCC compliance of a sector comprising at least one antenna, the sector being at least partially surrounded by a barrier comprising a plurality of barrier elements, the system comprising:
- a probe unit, mounted behind the at least one antenna, comprising an RF probe to measure RF emissions and at least one of;
a receiver to receive a signal indicative of at least one of an opening of a service door in a vicinity of the sector and disturbance of at least one of the barrier elements; and
a proximity sensor triggerable when an object moves within a too close zone to the probe unit.

5. A method for monitoring FCC compliance of a sector comprising at least one antenna, the sector being monitored by at least a probe unit and being at least partially surrounded by a barrier comprising a plurality of barrier elements, the method comprising:
-
measuring, from a location behind the at least one antenna, RF emissions of the at least one antenna to establish a baseline measurement; measuring RF emissions to determine measurements exceeding the baseline by a predetermined amount for a predetermined period of time; and monitoring for at least one of an opening of a service door in a vicinity of the sector, a disturbance of at least one of the barrier elements and movement of an object within a too close zone to the probe unit. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
