Product Description

The FlightHawk™ RF Aviation Basic Test Kit offers rapid and accurate testing of multiple antenna cable systems in complex airframe systems. This cable and antenna analyzer allows maintenance technicians with commissioning, maintaining, and faulting-finding of ground-to-air radios, airborne radios, repeaters, antennas, antenna combiners and transmission cables. The FlightHawk Basic's easy-to-software makes it simple for maintenance personnel to verify all radio systems in a fleet. The Frequency Domain Reflectometer (FDR) function tests and verifies antenna cables in the antenna systems in both individual and complete systems.

Features

Kit Includes:
FlightHawk-AV, Cable and Antenna Analyzer
SK-CAL-MN-C6, Calibration Combo
Hard Carrying Case
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
Aviation RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer
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
