ANTENNA ANALYZER TCM 003

Sci-tech Antenna Analyzer Model TCM 003 has been designed to provide useful tools for hands on experimentation and teaching of various commonly used antennas in VHF-UHFMicrowave band in the laboratory for students of all levels. It can be used in stand-alone mode as well as be interfaced with a computer via RS232. The system consists of a set of two tripods – one for mounting the transmitting antenna and another stepper motor controlled antenna positioning tripod for mounting the receiving antenna, 20 different types of antennas, PLL synthesized Digital RF Transmitter, PLL synthesized Digital RF Receiver & Stepper Controller and all the necessary cables and accessories.
