Every job needs the right tool, and when it comes to fast, reliable and accurate antenna testing, the RigExpert Stick 230 Antenna and Cable Vector Analyzer is it! The Stick 230 is designed specifically for measuring SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, and other parameters of cable and antenna systems from 100 kHz to 230 MHz. It does all this in a portable, self-calibrating package for use in both the home and out in the field.
With the Stick 230, you can easily perform the following tasks: - Rapid check-out of an antenna
- Tune an antenna to resonance
- Compare characteristics of an antenna before and after specific event (rain, hurricane, etc.)
- Make coaxial stubs or measure their parameters
- Cable testing and fault location
- Measure cable loss and characteristic impedance
- Measure capacitance or inductance of reactive loads
Interface: - Monochrome electronic paper display with a size of 200 × 200
- 2 × 3 keys on the waterproof keyboard
- English menu and help screens
- USB connection to a personal computer
Display modes: - SWR
- Return loss
- R, X, Z, L, C
- Magnitude and phase angle at one frequency
- SWR chart, 100 points
- Multi mode – for quick testing of a multi-band antenna
Bluetooth Specification: v.4.2 BLE Single Mode, Class B
The Stick 230 operates on one lithium-ion battery 3.7 V type 18650 for up to 16 hours of continuous measurement. It is the world’s first antenna analyzer capable of 16 hours of continuous measurements without battery recharging! It can also be connected to a PC or a DC adapter with USB socket for continuous power.
