RH-RR-KIT, RailHawk® Railway RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer Kit
RH-RR-KIT, RailHawk®
Railway RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer Kit
Overview - Signal Maintenance On Track!
Bird’s new RailHawk® Railway RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer solution provides a comprehensive kit that allows technicians to maintain high quality service networks in the railway industry. Based on the need for redundant communications, Bird’s Cable & Antenna Analyzer increases reliability and assures maintainability for communication protocols targeted in railway space. Designed to help novice and expert users, our easy-to-use analyzer finds problems before they become timeconsuming, expensive repairs.
Bird’s RailHawk® RF Railway Test Kit is the result of combining the proven antenna and cable testing functionality of the SiteHawk handheld analyzer, Bird’s plug and play power sensor – designed specifically to test the UHF analog/digital radio systems, as well as the GSM-R/LTE-R voice/data systems - and all the necessary loads, adapters and cables into a single rugged transit case.
Avoid communication shortfalls, downtime and expense resulting from trial and error of swapping components to fix your issue.
Features
- Test RF cables & antennas at the frequency of operation, not at DC where problems are masked.
- Locate RF cable, connector & antenna problems at the source.
- FDR (frequency Domain Reflectometry) pinpoints faults at the frequency of operation, unlike other measurement techniques which can mask pending failures of critical system components.
- Distance to Fault (DTF) mode can plot 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.
- Compatible with the Bird RF Meter App utilizing RF compatible sensors 501X, 7020, 7022 Series
Applications
- Determine if your GSM-R & LTE radio RF cables an antennas are the source of your problem.
- Diagnose antenna and cable problems in fixed, trackside radio infrastructure, and on-board rolling stock.
- Accurately pinpoint coaxial cable faults, minimizing downtime associated with removing furniture, panels and bulkheads.
- Early identification of degraded cable performance due to moisture ingress, permitting planned maintenance instead of emergency repairs.
