Aviation RF Cable & Antenna Analyser
flighthawk aviation test - bird technologies
  • Test RF cables & antennas at the frequency of operation
  • Locate RF cable, connector & antenna problems at the source
  • FDR (Frequency Domain Reflectometry) measurement method results in a highly reliable assessment of the health of critical components in your system; ultimately providing a “heads-up” before a failure occurs
  • Fault location or DTF mode plots 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

Aviation RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer

Avoid costly Aircraft on Ground (AOG) downtime with the Bird FlightHawk® RF Aviation Test Kit. This comprehensive kit combines specialized components for avionics testing into a single compact package. With intuitive software based on aircraft OEM specifications, easily identify and resolve RF cable, connector, and antenna issues.

Prevent Downtime

Verify & Diagnose Avionics Antenna Systems

Bird’s FlightHawk RF Aviation Test Kit combines a unique set of components specifically designed for avionics testing and measurement. In a single rugged case, the kit includes

  • The FlightHawk handheld cable & antenna analyzer
  • Bird’s 5017D-AV wideband power
    sensor – designed specifically to test aircraft RF systems
  • All necessary adapters and cabling.

Useful Right Out of the Box

The FH-AV-KIT includes all of the above, everything you need to get started verifying and troubleshooting your avionics RF systems right out of the box.

Adapters Galore

Besides Bird’s popular 4240-401 adapter kit that allows you adapt between any N, BNC, TNC, UHF, or SMA connectors, you also get additional SMA adapters as well as connectors for ARINC 600 Size 1 and 5 Coax, common sizes for RF avionics. 

Measure Thru- or Terminated Power

The Bird 5017D-AV wideband power sensor is optimized for aviation measurements. The included 25 W load allows you to take terminated power measurements of your RF systems.
