Marta leaned back. She saved the trace file— Tower7_Interference_0223.anritsu —and attached it to her report.
A . Not a drop in power, but a phase distortion. A subtle, almost beautiful sine wave carving a dent across the guard band. anritsu trace viewer
No other tool would have caught it. A power meter would have seen the total energy as normal. A standard spectrum sweep would have refreshed too fast, missing the transient. But the Trace Viewer’s waterfall display showed the truth: a pale blue scar of distortion slicing through the otherwise clean orange signal. Marta leaned back
So she did what rookies never think to do. She opened the software on her laptop. Not a drop in power, but a phase distortion
A field engineer, chasing a sporadic network fault, discovers that the most dangerous problem isn’t a broken component—but a waveform nobody saw coming.
