RFCAT

Overview

Textron Systems’ Radio Frequency Cable Analyzer Tester (RFCAT) allows for on-site testing and maintenance for radio frequency (RF) transmission paths within a platform. Using preconfigured databases of sweep parameters and pass/fail criteria, the RFCAT quickly determines the status of installed RF cables. The RFCAT checks each cable’s performance characteristics to include voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), insertion loss (IL), phase and phase matching. If a cable fails a test, the RFCAT automatically determines the distance-to-fault (DTF). With its intuitive touchscreen-based user interface and lightweight, ruggedized packaging, the RFCAT is the gold standard for operational-level RF cable testing.
