RigExpert MATCH Upgradeable Antenna and Cable Analyser

RigExpert MATCH Upgradeable Antenna and Cable Analyser provides portable RF measurements for antenna adjustment, installation checks and troubleshooting. The base configuration covers 0.1–70 MHz, with paid licences extending coverage to 230 MHz or 500 MHz. This upgradeable design allows the instrument to develop with changing measurement requirements, without replacing the hardware. Its colour display and rechargeable battery support use at the workbench or beside an antenna installation.

Antenna Measurements

RigExpert MATCH displays standing-wave ratio, return loss and impedance information to help identify resonance and assess matching. Single-frequency readings and swept graphs show how an antenna behaves across a selected range. Frequency entry has 1 kHz resolution, allowing detailed adjustment around the operating frequency. The four-inch, 480 × 480 colour TFT display presents measurement results directly on the instrument, while integrated help supports operation.

Upgradeable Cable Analysis

The RigExpert MATCH Advance licence increases the upper frequency limit to 230 MHz and unlocks additional tools, including Smith charts and cable measurements. The RFE licence extends operation to 500 MHz and adds time-domain reflectometry for investigating impedance changes along a cable. Available capabilities therefore depend on the installed licence. Confirm the supplied package before ordering, particularly when a job requires cable loss, length, velocity-factor measurement or user calibration profiles.

Portable Operation

A rechargeable 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery supports standalone measurements, while USB Type-C connects the analyser to compatible software and power. RigExpert’s AntScope2 software manages licence upgrades. The compact enclosure is suitable for carrying between measurement locations. Disconnect the system from transmitting equipment before testing and follow the manufacturer’s connection and safety instructions.
