Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• comply with site-specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures
• comply with all job requirements and WHS regulations, standards and work practices
• check and confirm calibration within appropriate dates of tools and instruments
• operate the following equipment: - radio frequency (RF) signal level meter (SLM) - RF leakage meter
• perform the following RF measurements: - determine relative RF power level (in dB) - determine relative RF voltage (in dBmV) - determine RF signal quality (MER and BER)

Knowledge evidence

• instruments used in measuring RF frequencies including: - RF signal level meter with and without tone generator - RF leakage detector
• types of RF measurements and their respective interpretation for RF frequencies including: - determining relative RF power level (in dB) - determining relative RF voltage (in dBmV)
• consequences of poorly terminated RF connections
• data recording using the unit decibels (in dBmV)
• variations between RF connector adaptor types
• potential WHS hazards, risks and control measures when working with RF frequency measuring equipment
• RF industry spectrum and limits, and allocations

Foundation skills

• Reading: Reads and interprets plans, specifications instructions and other documentation from a variety of sources and consolidates information to determine requirements Interprets and consolidates test results and data from a range of sources, against defined requirements
• Writing: Accurately records and completes enterprise documents and correspondence using clear language and correct spelling, grammar and terminology
• Oral Communication: Participates in verbal exchanges with key personnel using appropriate, clear and detailed language to exchange information, ideas or solutions Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm understanding of requirements
• Numeracy: Performs mathematical calculations to check, interpret and confirm results of system tests
• Navigate the world of work: Complies with explicit policies and procedures Explores and implements where identified the implicit expectations of policies and procedures
• Interact with others: Uses a range of accepted practices for communicating in a work environment Complies with work instructions and contributes effectively to work group discussions
• Get the work done: Plans and implements routine tasks and workload, making limited decisions on sequencing, timing and collaboration, and seeks assistance in setting priorities Makes low-impact decisions within familiar situations, based on a range of predefined or routine solutions, and evaluates the effectiveness of the outcome Uses the main features and functions of digital tools to complete work tasks and access information
