Applications:
Measure antenna electrical parameters: SWR, impedance (resistance + reactance), capacitance, inductance.
Measure feed point impedance.
Measure ground loss.
Adjust antenna tuners and determine loss.
Measure inductors and capacitors.
Measure coax transmission line (SWR, length, speed factor, approximate and loss, resonant frequency, and impedance).
Measure and determine optimum settings for tuning stubs: SWR, approximate, resonant frequency, bandwidth, impedance.
Determine characteristic impedance of transmission line.
Determine length and wave phasing lines.
Coaxial Cable Loss.
Determine antenna tuner loss.
Measure balun loss.
Measure inductor.
Estimate quartz crystal parameters.
Measure magnetic loop resonance and SWR.
Operation button definitions:
Mode: selects operation mode: impedance(default), complex impedance, capacitance, and inducatance.
BAND: select band from any of the available bands: 160M to 6M.
CONFIG: Provides menu for configurations and extended functions: PC Link, step size setting, suspend timeout setting, calibration, and software upgrade.
SCAN: pressing this control initiates a scan of frequencies of the selected BAND. Scan exits to impedance mode showing the 2:1 bandwidth and the resonant point o the antenna.
CAN(up): increase frequency and used to cancel operation for CONFIG menu.
VAL(down): decrease frequency and used to validate operation for CONFIG menu.
Package includes:
1 x ANT SWR Antenna Analyzer Meter For SARK100 Ham Radio
