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?

Low power test gear is listed as a permitted form of radiation. While a
signal generator is permitted for use as a test instrument, it would not be
legal to use it for say a transmitter on a ham band that you are not licened
to use.
YOu could legally use it for a ham band transmitter if you followed all the
other part 95 rules.
