Hi,

I'm trying to determine if using an antenna analyzer is technically a
violation of the telecommunications Code of Federal Regulations. Typical
antenna analyzers inject a incident CW or sweeping CW to the antenna and
measure its return loss (reflection). Very few frequency bands have a CW or
sweeping CW as their allowed modulation type. The way I see it is that by
using an antenna analyzer you are intentionally radiating an improper
modulation type that was allocated for the band and therefore you are in
violation of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Anyone have any thoughts on this topic?
