The Bird Master RF Test kit provides all the necessary equipment needed for field technicians and engineers for installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of coaxial cable and antenna systems and analysis of system performance.

This comprehensive exclusive kit provides coverage with the SiteHawk Cable and Antenna Analyzer, SignalHawk Spectrum Analyzer, as well as a power sensor, calibration combo and all must have connection needs with an assortment of adapters, and cables all housed in an organized case.

Two versions of Master RF Kit available

Bird offers two versions of its Master RF Test Kit. These packages are the same except for the SignalHawk spectrum analyzer included.

• SK-SH-KIT – includes standard SignalHawk, model SH-60S-TC
• SK-SH-KITA – includes SignalHawk with AoA technology (Angle of Arrival) for triangulation of interference, model SH-60S-AOA

Get the most out of your communication networks with SiteHawk. This powerful device offers critical coverage and a wide frequency range, ensuring you have the ability to find any discrepancies in your cables and connectors.

Discontinuities can be a real problem and cause significant reflections by damaged cables, loose or improperly installed connectors, and environmental factors. With Bird’s DTF (Distance to Fault) mode, SiteHawk finds the exact location of the problem “in true distance units”.

Eliminate wasted time swapping out components until you determine the issue. Save critical time, components, and money by correctly identifying issues the first time to efficiently direct vital resources to implement solutions.

The SiteHawk can be easily used for an antenna frequency response sweep, using markers and a limit line allow for a fast and accurate reading. Nothing has been changed in each sweep except for the Mode from Return Loss to SWR.

The SiteHawk can also be for Distance to Fault (DTF) measurements which shows the location of any problems in the antenna system. This is shown in either feet or meters from the cable end connected to the SiteHawk.

The trace can display the entire length (distance) of the cable system being measured or a smaller portion of the length for better detail. It is very helpful to have a diagram of your system so that components can be identified, although obtaining such a diagram will not always be possible.

The SignalHawk, SH-60S-TC, provides real-time spectrum monitoring and analysis of RF frequency circuits with a wide frequency range of between 9kHz to 6 GHz. This analyzer has been developed for field engineers, technicians, wireless equipment manufacturers, service providers, contractors, tower erectors and military field personnel.

Bird combines best-in-class functionality with compact package and boasts an intuitive touchscreen user interface. The SH-60S-TC lets you experience high performance and rich features that are available wherever you take it.

Signal bursts and transients can be viewed using the “Zero-span” function with video-level triggering (i.e. an oscilloscope with time on the x-axis) or “Waterfall” display (color-coded scrolling chart display) to analyze intermittent signal sources.

This device also includes the Bird RF Meter App for interoperability with a wide range of Bird Field sensors.

Display Options

In addition to displaying the RF Signal is the typical spectrum display, the SignalHawk is capable of displaying the RF signal in a waterfall display, allowing the user to view the signal in the time dimension as well as frequency and power dimension. 

The 5017D-AV, 100 MHz – 1.3 GHz RF Power Sensor never requires field calibration, only requires calibration once per year and is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The WPS measures True Average Power, Peak Power, and Duty Cycle directly with exceptional accuracy and uses these precise measurements to calculate a wide range of other important factors, such as VSWR, Return Loss, Reflection Coefficient, Crest Factor, Average Burst Power, and CCDF.
