Antenna Trainer

The desktop Antenna Training System ST 2261 has been specially designed for engineering colleges and training centers. It is very useful for introducing practical verification of antenna operation to the students. The work book provides theoretical concepts and detail procedure of experiments with each type of antenna.The training system includes set of modular mechanical elements forming various antennas, a transmitter unit and a detector unit. All the accessories are packed in a convenient carrying case.The Antenna Training System also comes with Motorized Antenna Unit (Model ST2261A) to automate the recording of the radiation pattern of the antennas. Normally this operation is performed by rotating the transmitting antenna at different angles (ST2261) by hand and measuring the radiated intensity. The Motorized Antenna Unit consists of a Microcontroller based system for Capturing, Displaying and Printing of Antenna radiation pattern. The system capture signal at an interval of 10 rotation using stepper motor and radiation pattern is displayed on PC.The Windows based Software is supplied in CD form. The PC Communication is via RS232 port. Features On board RF generator, Tone generator, Dirctional Coupler ,Matching stub , Forward/Reverse meter and Goniometer. Experiment with different types of antennas. Antenna Fabrication kit. Forward/ Reverse power & SWR measurements. Fully documented student workbook and operating manual. Book entitled "Antennas" by John D. Kraus with each trainer. Video CD containing the demo of Antenna Trainer. Radiation Pattern Plotting Software.
