AirHORN — Single and Dual-Band Channel / RF Signal Generator

AirHORN is a unique, PC-based product that aids in testing WiFi antennas, RF shields and wireless networks. It is an RF (radio frequency) signal generator that covers the 2.4x and 5.x GHz ISM bands and was designed for microwave and RF applications. AirHORN transmits stable and accurate RF signals for each of the WiFi(802.11) channels and is ideal for research and development of antenna design. A signal generation system is a key to any test system – AirHORN can be used for rapid evaluation of receiver performances.  Combined with an RF spectrum analyzer, you now have the tools to locate "dead spots" in any locale where a WiFi network is installed.
