1. Description 

 

 

 

RigExpert  AA-200/AA-500  are  powerful 
antenna  analyzer  designed  for  testing, 
checking, tuning or repairing antennas and 
antenna-feeder paths. 
 
Graphical  SWR  (Standing  Wave  Ratio) 
and impedance display  is  a key  feature  of 
these 

analyzers 

which 

significantly 

reduces time required to put an antenna to 
rights. 
 
Easy-to  use  measurement  modes,  as  well 
as  additional  features  such  as  memory 
storage  and  connection  to  a  personal 
computer,  make  RigExpert  AA-200/AA-
500  attractive  for  professionals  and 
hobbyists.  
 
The  new  MultiSWR™  and  SWR2Air™ 
[AA-200 only] modes are unique for these 
antenna analyzers. 
 
The following tasks are well-accomplished 
by using RigExpert AA-200/AA-500: 
 

 

Rapid check-out of an antenna 

 

Tuning an antenna to resonance 

 

Comparing characteristics of an 
antenna before and after specific 
event (rain, hurricane, etc.) 

 

Making coaxial lines or measuring 
their parameters 

 

Cable fault location 

 

Measuring capacitance or 
inductance of reactive loads
