RigExpert MATCH RFE Upgrade License

The RigExpert MATCH RFE Upgrade License is designed for professionals and enthusiasts working with radiofrequency (RF) systems, offering enhanced functionality for antenna and cable analysis. With this license upgrade, users can extend the operational range of their MATCH up to 500 MHz, making it ideal for a wide array of applications in telecommunications, broadcasting, and electronics diagnostics. This RFE license is tailored for: RF engineers and technicians diagnosing and maintaining transmission lines. Network professionals optimizing antenna systems. Hobbyists and researchers delving into RF analysis within the licensed frequency range.

Unlock a key feature of the RFE license: TDR Chart Mode. This mode uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) for fault detection and analysis. It allows users to locate faults in transmission lines by sending a short electrical pulse or step function along the cable and observing the reflected pulse. By calculating the Distance to Fault (DTF) using delay measurements, the speed of light, and cable velocity factors, users can interpret the amplitude and shape of the reflected signals to assess fault characteristics.

The RFE license enhances the MATCH analyzer with the LC Meter, enabling precise measurements of Inductance (L), Capacitance (C), Quality Factor (Q), and Loss Tangent (tan δ). This powerful feature offers detailed insights into RF components, allowing for accurate analysis and optimization.

User OSL Profiles: Supports up to 10 User Open-Short-Load (OSL) profiles, enabling precise calibration for accurate measurements.
