2.0 Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance, follow the safety 
information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin 
included with your shipment. 
Maintenance is limited to the components as described in 
this manual. If you have any questions concerning 
maintenance, contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service. 
Periodic maintenance will ensure the continued performance of the Gigahertz 
Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM!™) Cell. Several areas must be considered, 
as described in the following sections. 
Performance Monitoring
On-site VSWR measurements are normally performed at the conclusion of 
installation procedures for the GTEM!. They are also performed at the factory for 
all factory-assembled GTEM! cells. If the GTEM! is to be installed by an 
ETS-Lindgren representative, then the on-site VSWR measurement is the 
responsibility of the representative. Determination of continued performance to 
specified parameters may be ensured by periodic re-measurement of the VSWR. 
This could detect changes in performance parameters that would signal 
unacceptable performance. The VSWR measurement should be performed on a 
schedule as recommended by the customer’s Quality Engineering. The default 
time period between such evaluations (this is not a calibration) is six months.
