Abstract
An apparatus determining characteristics of radios within a communications network includes a radio, RF signal sensor, analyzer, and computer. The radio transmits RF signals, has transmission operating parameters with respective predetermined values having respective thresholds and a identifier, and has an air operating mode where signals comprise the identifier. The sensor receives the signals having characteristics correlating with the operating parameters. While the signals are received during the operating mode, the analyzer measures the signal characteristics and determines health of the radio by analyzing whether the measured characteristics transmitted are within the respective thresholds of the values, and concludes that health is acceptable if the measured characteristics are within the thresholds, and concludes that health is unacceptable if at least one measured characteristic is outside a threshold. The computer hosts a database with radio: identifiers to be monitored and not monitored, specifications and ranges, operating parameters, and measured characteristics received.
