Section Status

Unstable Link

(Unst)

The first or last point in

the section shows

strong polarization

unstability.

The section shows

strong polarization

unstability.

Unstable sections

occur when on the

link, the polarization

moves at a speed

faster than the

acquisition time of a

wavelength’s step.
This phenomenon can

occur mainly when

measuring aerial links

when there are strong

winds.
Any section after an

unstable section is

unstable as well. To

improve the situation,

you can decrease

significantly the

number of averages.
