What is signal leakage field strength? Are you keen to expand your knowledge on RF leakage within HFC plants? Our upcoming episode is tailored just for you! We’re excited to have our host Brady Volpe and our well know guest Ron Hranac lead an insightful session on Signal Leakage Field Strength.

Ron is set to guide us through an engaging exploration of field strength. We’ll uncover the intricacies of how radiated RF signals from a loosely fitted or improperly terminated F-connector are measured. Beyond that, we’ll delve into the calculations behind antenna aperture and much more.

The best part? You can engage with us live! Feel free to ask questions in the chat during the stream or leave your queries below in advance, and we’ll be sure to address them during the session.
