RigExpert AA-600

RigExpert AA-600, AA-1000 and AA-1400 are powerful antenna analyzers designed for testing, checking, tuning or repairing antennas and antenna feedlines.

Graphical SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and impedance, as well as Smith/polar chart displays are key features of these analyzers which significantly reduce the time required to adjust an antenna.

Easy-to use measurement modes, as well as additional features such as connection to a personal computer make RigExpert AA-600, AA-1000 and AA-1400 attractive for professionals and hobbyists.

AA-600, AA-1000 and AA-1400 are available in non-US version (with ability to display Smith chart) and US version (displaying a polar chart instead).

The following tasks are easily accomplished by using these analyzers:

·         Rapid check-out of an antenna

·         Tuning an antenna to resonance

·         Antenna SWR and impedance measurement and comparison before and after specific event (rain, hurricane, etc.)

·         Making coaxial lines or measuring their parameters

·         Cable testing and fault location

·         Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads
