Used in conjunction with an appropriate receiver, the TE7-01 determined resonant frequency and impedance from 1–300 MHz. The TE7-01 had RCA jacks. The TE7-02 used BNC connectors. The Antenna Noise Bridge, models TE7-01 and TE7-02, combine precision and measurement flexibility normally found only in a collection of expensive laboratory equipment. Able to be used over the entire range from 1 to 300 MHz, the antenna noise bridge allows testing and tuning for optimum performance from an antenna and receiver without the use of additional equipment. It also replaces any other testing equipment, specifically SWR bridges, with a more accurate test system. The antenna noise bridge can be used to test beams, whips, dipoles, quads or complete antenna systems by connecting the instrument between the antenna to be tested and the station receiver.
