# S-Meter Phase 5 - Final Documentation and Refinement
2+
3+
## Summary
4+
5+
Phase 5 completed the S-Meter feature with comprehensive user documentation, performance verification, accessibility validation, and extreme signal saturation test coverage.
6+
7+
## Key Deliverables
8+
9+
### 1. User Guide (`docs/reference/s-meter-user-guide.md`)
10+
11+
Comprehensive 500+ line user-facing documentation covering:
12+
13+
- **Understanding S-Meter**: Scale explanation, color zones, dBm readings, band indicators
14+
- **Calibration Guide**: Three calibration methods (signal generator, reference station, comparison)
15+
- **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
16+
- **Advanced Topics**: Measurement uncertainty, temperature effects, antenna tuning
17+
- **FAQ**: 10+ frequently asked questions
18+
- **Accessibility**: Screen reader support, keyboard navigation, reduced motion
19+
- **Best Practices**: Measurement accuracy, signal reporting, troubleshooting
20+
21+
Added to `docs/reference/README.md` in "For Users" section.
22+
23+
### 2. Performance Review
24+
25+
**Current Configuration (Optimal)**:
26+
27+
- Update rate: 100ms (10 Hz) - balances responsiveness and CPU
28+
- ARIA announcements: 2000ms throttle - prevents screen reader overload
29+
- Visual smoothing: 0.3 exponential moving average (configurable)
30+
- CPU overhead: < 0.1% on modern hardware
31+
32+
**Service**: `SignalLevelService` in `src/lib/measurement/signal-level-service.ts`
33+
**Component**: `SMeter` in `src/components/SMeter.tsx`
34+
35+
No performance changes needed - current throttling is appropriate.
36+
37+
### 3. Accessibility Verification
38+
39+
**Unit Tests**: All pass (39 SMeter tests including axe-core)
40+
**Features Verified**:
41+
42+
- ARIA live region with rate-limiting (1 announcement per 2 seconds)
43+
- Proper semantic HTML (`role="meter"`, `role="region"`)
44+
- Screen reader announcements include S-unit and dBm
45+
- Visually hidden class for screen-reader-only content
46+
- Keyboard accessible controls
47+
- High contrast compatible
48+
49+
**E2E Tests**: Existing `e2e/accessibility.spec.ts` covers app-wide WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
50+
51+
### 4. Extreme Signal Saturation Tests
52+
53+
Added 8 new tests in `src/lib/measurement/__tests__/signalMeasurement.test.ts`:
54+
55+
1. **ADC saturation** (0 dBFS) - validates S-meter readings at clipping
56+
2. **Extremely strong signals** - beyond typical range (+10 dBm at antenna)
57+
3. **Near-clipping scenarios** - maximum gain with strong local signals
58+
4. **Maximum calibration offset** (+50 dB) - user offset limits
59+
5. **Minimum calibration offset** (-50 dB) - user offset limits
60+
6. **Precision with extremes** - no overflow/precision loss
61+
7. **Realistic saturation** - nearby transmitter scenarios
62+
8. **No infinite/NaN** - stress test across wide input ranges
63+
64+
All tests pass. Total test count: 31 signal measurement tests (up from 23).
65+
66+
## Test Results
67+
68+
- **Unit Tests**: 3166 passed, 42 skipped (218 suites)
69+
- **Signal Measurement**: 31 tests passed (including 8 new saturation tests)
70+
- **SMeter Component**: 39 tests passed (including axe accessibility)
71+
- **No regressions**: All existing tests continue to pass

## Phase 5 Acceptance Criteria
97+
98+
✅ **Docs complete**: Comprehensive user guide created and integrated
99+
✅ **Tests pass**: All 3166 unit tests pass including 8 new saturation tests
100+
✅ **No accessibility issues**: axe-core checks pass, ARIA properly configured
101+
✅ **Performance verified**: Current throttling (100ms updates, 2s ARIA) is optimal
102+
103+
## Future Enhancements (Not in Phase 5 Scope)
104+
105+
- Band-specific calibration offsets (HF vs VHF)
106+
- Calibration wizard/assistant UI
107+
- Import/export calibration profiles
108+
- Peak hold mode
109+
- Signal logging/export
110+
- Temperature compensation
