  • For analog or digital cellular, PCS, and two-way radio systems.
  • Two models: 824-960 MHz and 1800-2100 MHz.
  • Intelligently protects transmitters. 
  • True average measurement of  forward and reflected power. 
  • 25W to 500W (824-960 MHz), or 2.5W to 25W (1800-2100MHz). 
  • RS-232 link to computer or other display / control device. 
  • Low insertion loss, high directivity (30dB min.), and extremely low intermod distortion (less than -130dBc)
The Bird Model 7005A Series VSWR Monitor is designed for long-term VSWR monitoring and power measurement in analog or digital cellular, PCS, paging, and two-way radio systems. The 7005A can be used at any point in the transmission system, including the main antenna feed line, after the combiner.
A high-directivity coupler and microprocessor control provide state-of-the-art accuracy and versatility. VSWR is calculated from forward and reflected power measurements, and compared to an internally settable VSWR threshold of 1.3 to 1.8.
The 7005A Series features an RS-232 compatible interface for connection to a notebook or host computer for readout of forward and reflected power and control of alarm functions.

Alarm Action

When the line VSWR exceeds the threshold, the 7005A Series will initiate one of the following actions based upon the degree of mismatch:

  • VSWR less than the set point: no alarms are activated.
  • VSWR equals or slightly exceeds the set point: additional measurements are accumulated to determine a trend. If reflected power increases during this time, an alarm condition is generated. If reflected power is stable, an alarm is generated if VSWR exceeds the threshold for more than thirty seconds.
  • VSWR greatly exceeds the set point: an alarm is generated immediately.

Alarm conditions are indicated by a red LED on the monitor, and the activation of a form C relay. Normally open, common, and normally closed relay contacts are available at the Alarm/Power connector. The relay is a "fail safe" type which automatically enters the alarm state if supply power is lost.

Reset Operation

Alarms may be reset through any of three actions:

  • A Local Reset button located on the monitor.
  • A TTL-compatible Remote Reset pin located on the Alarm/Power connector. This method will reset the unit up to three times before a local reset is required.
  • Remote Reset through the RS-232 interface. Up to three remote resets are possible before a local reset is necessary.
