Frequently Asked Questions
The RigExpert AA-3000 is a versatile antenna and cable analyser designed to measure a wide range of RF parameters from 0.1 MHz to 3 GHz. It can be used to check SWR, return loss, impedance, cable loss, cable length, velocity factor, and more.
It also includes Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) functionality, making it useful for locating cable faults and diagnosing feedline issues. This makes it suitable for amateur radio, commercial communications, WiFi systems, and other RF applications.
The main difference is the frequency range. While the AA-2000 operates up to 2 GHz, the AA-3000 extends coverage to 3 GHz. This additional range is particularly useful for higher-frequency applications such as 2.4 GHz WiFi, LTE networks, ISM band devices, and other microwave-frequency systems.
If you regularly work with frequencies above 2 GHz, the AA-3000 provides greater flexibility and future-proofing.
Yes. The AA-3000 supports both Bluetooth 4.2 and USB connectivity, allowing it to connect to compatible RigExpert software and mobile applications. These tools make it easier to view measurement data, generate reports, save results, and analyse antenna or cable performance on a larger screen.
Yes. The AA-3000 is factory-calibrated and ready to use straight out of the box. It also supports optional Open-Short-Load (OSL) calibration, allowing users to perform additional calibration when required for greater measurement accuracy. Calibration data can be stored for future use, helping maintain consistent results across different projects and testing environments.
The RigExpert AA-3000 includes a 2-year RigExpert Care warranty, providing added confidence in the reliability of your investment. As part of our range of professional electrical testing equipment, this analyser is built to deliver accurate performance in demanding environments.
