Diagnose

Observations are context. They do not pass or fail a structure. See Diagnose.

WhenObservationSeverity
strong and poor snrStrong signal, poor SNRinfo
weak and poor snrWeak signal, poor SNRinfo

OtherwiseSignal contextinfo

Assumptions

  • Manual or captured measurements. Thresholds are illustrative context only.

Provenance

  • Generic RF context. Do not treat bands as LoRa, LTE, or Wi-Fi criteria.
