Creech Tower PMI Report 2023 (1of4).pdf

This document is a Radio Frequency (RF) survey report for Creech Air Force Base (AFB) located in Indian Springs, Nevada, dated June 29, 2023. The report documents the testing and inspection of transmission lines, antennas, tower, and mounting hardware at the facility.

The survey employed an Anritsu LMR Master S412E device using Distance-to-Fault (DTF) and Return Loss measurement tests to verify antenna and transmission line performance and identify potential failures. The testing covered four antennas: RX Antenna 1 (WHITE) at 175 feet, RX Antenna 2 (RED-RED) at 171 feet, TX Antenna 1 (BLUE) at 130 feet, and TX Antenna 2 (GREEN) at 128 feet. All antennas were tested across the 400-479 MHz frequency range. The report indicates that all transmission lines tested within operating limits, with return loss measurements demonstrating passing values across tested frequencies. DTF testing identified typical measurement values at specified load/antenna distances for each system. In addition to testing, transmission lines were identified and labeled with color tape and engraved metal tags, and cable and antenna mounting hardware was securely fastened. The conclusion confirms all transmission lines operated within acceptable parameters and that identification, labeling, and hardware security measures were completed successfully.
