AA-230 ZOOM Antenna Analyzer 100-230MHz w/Bluetooth
Now, thanks to its ability to work in conjunction with a smartphone or the tablet/netbook, the new RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM Option BLE antenna analyzer is your laboratory in a field.
The analyzer is designed for measuring SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, cable loss, as well as other parameters of cable and antenna systems in the range of 100 kHz to 230 MHz.
A built-in ZOOM capability makes graphical measurements especially effective.
An integrated Time Domain Reflectometer mode can be used to locate a fault within the feedline system.
The following tasks are easily accomplished by using this analyzer:
Rapid check-out of an antenna
Tuning an antenna to resonance
Comparing the characteristics of an antenna before and after a specific event (rain, hurricane, etc.)
Making coaxial stubs or measuring their parameters
Cable testing and fault location, measuring cable loss and characteristic impedance
Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads
Probably some of you have already appreciated the work of AA-55 ZOOM Option Bluetooth.Â
The main idea is that we are not just installed a small Bluetooth module in our devices the RigExpert AA-55 ZOOM Option Bluetooth and the RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM Option BLE, but:
1. The presence of the Bluetooth module makes it possible galvanically isolate the device from the PC. Which is especially important for RF professionals for the accuracy of calculations.
2. Creating a free AntScope application for iOS and Android it is an effort of our highly skilled software developers, which spend a lot of time to make customers happy.
3. In the future, the Bluetooth function will enable our devices to use external measurement modules: a power meter, a spectrum analyzer, etc.
Â
Also, our Design Bureau engineers are constantly developing the new models of devices and improve the current ones.Â
All of the above gives a great added value to our devices, doesn’t it?
