The handbook presents the results of evaluation-analysis of various test methods, procedures and test equipment used in several operational environments in the form of detailed test methods, procedures and test equipment. To enhance the use of these tests, applicable antenna and transmission line concepts, and the Smith Chart are discussed in detail. The application of these tests and procedures should be very beneficial in maintaining the required system performance particularly in cases where the antenna transmission line or other parts of the antenna system have been damaged.
