DESCRIPTION:
The SK-6000-TC SiteHawk is rugged, portable test equipment used for verifying and troubleshooting RF cable systems and antennas across wide frequency bands. Its built-in Distance-to-Fault (DTF) and Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) modes enable precise fault localization along transmission lines, reducing time spent swapping components or isolating issues by trial. With a colour touchscreen interface, USB-C connectivity, and long battery life, it suits applications in cellular (including 3G/4G/5G), broadcast, WLAN, government, military, and public-safety networks.
Key Features:
Frequency Coverage: 1 MHz to 6 GHz for broad RF system testing.
Fault Locating: DTF and FDR measurement methods with distance-to-fault readout up to ~5000 ft (1500 m).
Measurements: VSWR, return loss, and cable loss across the full frequency range.
Display: 5.5 720p touchscreen for trace viewing and user interaction.
Connectivity: USB-C for data transfer, battery charging, and connection to Bird RF power sensors.
Portability: Lithium-ion battery with ~10 hours operation typical.
Durability: Designed for field use with robust enclosure and multi-language UI.
Typical Applications:
Cellular network installation and maintenance (GSM, CDMA, LTE, 5G)
Broadcast and public safety RF systems
WLAN/WLL infrastructure testing
Government and tactical communication equipment diagnostics
