PowerAim 120

The PowerAIM 120 Vector Impedance Analyzer offers the broadcast engineer the full capabilities of a single port network analyzer, in a small lightweight software driven instrument that is easy to carry onto airlines and in the field. It is also very simple to set up and use but very accurate even at tens of thousands of ohms of impedance.  All impedance parameters are measured and calculated.  The software for the PowerAIM is loaded on a laptop computer, which is coupled to the instrument via a USB port.  The PowerAIM is particularly beneficial to broadcast engineers involved in the adjustment and final commissioning of AM HD radio transmission systems.  The instrument is calibrated in a similar manner to a network analyzer utilizing an open, short and 50-ohm or other resistance load.  The start and stop frequencies have to be specified to define the frequency scan range.
