Antenna Analyser information
There are some great antenna analysers available now, some professional units
are thousands of dollars, but there are some cheaper versions available which
are adequate for amateur radio hobbyists.

reactance), capacitance, inductance
Measure feedpoint impedance
Measure ground loss
Adjust antenna tuners and determine loss
Measure inductors and capacitors
Measure coax transmission line (SWR, length, velocity factor, approximate Q
and loss, resonant frequency, and impedance)
Measure and determine optimum settings for tuning stubs: SWR, approximate
Q, resonant frequency, bandwidth, impedance
Determine characteristic impedance of transmission line
Determine length of ? and ? wave phasing lines
Coaxial Cable Loss
Determine antenna tuner loss
Measure balun loss
Measure inductor Q
Estimate quartz crystal parameters
Measure magnetic loop resonance and SWR
Operation button definitions:
Mode: selects operation mode: impedance(default), complex impedance, capacitance, and inducatance
BAND: select band from any of the available bands: 160M to 6M
CONFIG: Provides menu for configurations and extended functions: PC Link, step size setting,
suspend timeout setting, calibration, and software upgrade
SCAN: pressing this control initiates a scan of frequencies of the selected BAND.
Scan exits to impedance mode showing the 2:1 bandwidth and the resonant point of the antenna
CAN(up): increase frequency and used to cancel operation for CONFIG menu
VAL(down): decrease frequency and used to validate operation for CONFIG menu
N1201SA Antenna Analyzer 137MHz to 2.7GHz

Description:
N1201SA series is the handheld radio frequency vector impedance measurement analysis instrument,
easy to use, simple operation. Built-in high capacity lithium ion battery for mobile and outdoor use.
Shutdown automatically save settings parameter without human intervention, after starting up,
interface settings completely the same as the power off before, use very worry.
Can be used to test the antenna, the impedance of the radio frequency devices.
For RF impedance measuring requires calibration, you need external calibration source.

Battery capacity: 2000mAH(7.4Wh)
Power consumption: <1.5W
Charge current: 400mA
Charge port: USB
Auto power off can be set 5-60minutes.
Measured parameters: Resistence, Reactance, Standing wave, S11
Resolution ratio: 4 number
Frequency accuracy: about 5ppm
Connector: SMA-K
Measurement range:
Impedance: 0.1~1000
Standing wave: 1.000~65
S11(dB): 0dB~-60dB
Working temperature: 0~40?
Atmospheric pressure: 860hPa~1060hPa
This instrument has four interfaces: single point measurement, scanning, system information,
correction and calibration The default boot into single-point measurement interface.
Note:
For the convenience of the user, each time calibration correction options will automatically
change to the user calibration. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the integrity of the calibration,
the calibration process, the automatic shutdown function fails, the consistent boot.
Startup and shutdown
Hold down the CTRL key off press the power switch button.
The boot state, long press (2S above) the switch button, after the release, the instrument will shut down.
Recommended usage
1. In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement and calibration, preheat the instrument at least 15 minutes.
2. Try to use good quality RF cable and connectors.
3. Calibrated cable marked to the next may not need to calibrate and direct use.
4. Test cable process affect the measurement accuracy, it is recommended that, where possible,
do not choose too long test cable.
5. Measurement and calibration before, make sure you are not in a strong wireless signal, so as
to avoid interference caused by nearby RF sources.
6. If the impedance measurements are not as expected, you can refer to a vector network
analyzer instructions and tutorials. This instrument is equivalent to a single-port vector network analysis.
