RigExpert Antenna Analyzers

RigExpert Antenna Analyzers are powerful antenna analyzers designed for testing, checking, tuning, or repairing antennas and antenna feed-lines. Mainly, these are SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and impedance measurement instruments (vector impedance analyzers). Their large, bright LCD screens provide graphic illustration of SWR, impedance; return loss, and much more. Easy to use measurement modes, as well as additional features such as connection to a personal computer (to plot SWR, R, X and Smith charts, etc.); make RigExpert Analyzers attractive for professionals and hobbyists alike. They are compatible with several operating systems, including Windows© 10, 11 and Mac, with software download*. The graphic display of various parameters over a wide frequency range is a key feature of these analyzers. This significantly reduces the time required to adjust an antenna. ZOOM models allow you to zoom-in on graph points for clearer analysis. USB connection allows export of sweep files with Antscope for Android or Antscope2 software to PC or MAC. *(download from the manufacturer https://rigexpert.com/products/software/). Many models have Bluetooth for direct file transfer for galvanic isolation without a USB cable, which provides the most accurate measurements. RigExpert Antenna Analyzers are available in several models with greater frequency range of operational features. Some have SO-239 UHF female connector, except for most models that operate at 230 MHz and above that have a Type N female connector. An array of options are available to cover almost any need for the professional and the Amateur. The following tasks are easily accomplished by using RigExpert Antenna Analyzers: * Rapid check-out of an antenna * Tuning an antenna to resonance * Antenna SWR and impedance measurement and comparison before and after a specific event (rain, hurricane, winter, etc.) * Making coaxial lines or measuring their parameters * Cable testing and fault location * Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads *Send data to laptop for larger graphical display and further analysis. Note: For additional product information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab. When you need a versatile antenna analyzer for Amateur Radio or professional use, you'll find that one of these RigExpert Antenna Analyzers, from DX Engineering, will be well suited to the task!
