Description
Aviation RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer Kit
Bird’s FlightHawk® RF Aviation Basic Test Kit is a rapid and accurate solution for testing antenna and cable systems in complex airframe systems. Our Cable and Antenna Analyzer assists aircraft maintenance technicians with commissioning, maintenance, and fault-finding of ground-to-air radios, airborne radios, repeaters, antennas, antenna combiners, and transmission cables.
The FlightHawk Basic is an excellent starter kit for novices and experts alike. With Bird’s easy-to-use aviation testing software, maintenance personnel can test and verify all radio systems in their fleet.
Using frequency domain reflectometer (FDR) technology, you can test antennas and cables individually or as a complete system. The specially designed case includes placeholders for Bird’s wideband power sensor, cabling, and adapters, catering to avionics power measurement needs while preventing foreign object damage. Expand your testing capabilities with our upgrade options.
FEATURES
- Test RF cables & antennas at the frequency of operation
- Locate RF cable, connector & antenna problems at the source
- FDR (Frequency Domain Reflectometry) measurement method results in a highly reliable assessment of the health of critical components in your system; ultimately providing a “heads-up” before a failure occurs
- Fault location or DTF mode plots VSWR or Return Loss levels at each distance point along the cable and antenna system length
- Cable Loss function measures insertion loss of the cable system over a given frequency range
- OTG USB communication port for connection to Bird power sensors, storage devices and battery charging
- Includes the Bird RF Meter App
CRITICAL MEASUREMENTS
- FDR trace of precision return loss vs. frequency
- Return loss vs. distance
- Voltage standing wave ratio( VSWR)
- Cable loss and distance-to-fault (DTF) measurements
