RigExpert AA-30

RigExpert AA-30 and AA-54 are powerful antenna
analyzers designed for testing, checking, tuning or repairing antennas and
antenna feedlines.
Mainly, these are SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and
impedance measurement instruments (vector impedance analyzers).
Easy-to use measurement modes, as well as additional
features such as connection to a personal computer (to plot Smith charts,
etc.), make RigExpert AA-30 and AA-54 attractive for professionals and
hobbyists. It is quite important that graphical display of various parameters
over a wide frequency range is a key feature of these analyzers which
significantly reduces the time required to adjust an antenna.
The following tasks are easily accomplished by using
RigExpert AA-30 and AA-54:
·
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
