Compact, General-Purpose Testers for HF, VHF, and UHF Antenna Systems

AT-100, AT-400 & AT-800

Birds™ AT-Series Antenna Testers can test an entire band in a matter of seconds, with accurate results regardless of antenna cable length.AT400
Menu driven, software-defined keys and digital keypad quickly select operating mode and enter test parameters.
A self-contained RF source precisely sets the test frequency.
A built-in adaptable antenna jack mates a wide range of standard RF connectors.

  • AT-800: 806–960 MHz analog or digital wireless services.
  • AT-400: 65–520 MHz for aeronautical, mobile radio, FM, and TV.
  • AT-100: 2–136 MHz military tactical and airborne communication, nav/com, fire, police, and emergency.

Swept Frequency Measurements
-
Show VSWR, Match Efficiency or Return Loss across the entire band. A moveable cursor pinpoints scan frequency and digitally displays the corresponding measurement value.
Single-Frequency Mode

- Can be used to optimize antenna performance and troubleshoot intermittent problems.
Limit Testing
- Quick Pass-Fail indicator compares measurements to user-selected limits.
Audible Indicator

- Pitch varies with match condition for easy, hands-on antenna adjustment.
Field-Strength Measurements

- Verifies the output of devices such as portable radios and cellular phones.
Data Storage

- Saves and recalls up to 12 scans in nonvolatile memory for long-term monitoring of antenna performance.
Serial Communication Link

- Optional software uploads data to a personal computer for analysis or storage.
Backlit Liquid Crystal Display

- Produces text and high-resolution graphics.
Portable

- Lightweight, easy-to-carry, with rechargeable batteries.
Rugged

- Designed to meet the harsh environment requirements of MIL-T- 28800.

The AT-Series contains a serial interface for downloading and analyzing test data with a personal computer. The Model 7000A840 Interface Kit (serial cable and software for MS Windows 3.1, 95, and NT) is available as an option.
