Product Overview

Description

 Product Overview

 AV1431 Portable Microwave Signal Generator and AV1431A Portable RF Signal Generator are provided with a unified portable case, featured by high integrity, small size and little weight, and can be carried with ease, offering bilingual Chinese - English menu, friendly interface and operation easy to learn. Their output signals cover the frequency ranges of radio frequency and microwave respectively, in a high frequency resolution, wide dynamic range and multiple modulation functions. They are possible to work at two modes of power supply, delivering a superior property of energy saving, and incorporating rechargeable battery with large capacity that could support the unit to operate for a long time by one charging. They can also meet the requirements of testing during the installation, adjustment and field maintenance of most communication and radar countermeasure equipment. High cost performance further makes them ideal for testing in the fields such as colleges and universities, civil communications, etc.
