[Cu-wireless] Wanted: tools for advanced antenna construction and testing.

[niteshad at whopper.de]

Hello all,

	In the pursuit of greater excellence in antenna design, I was  wondering
if anyone out there, probably of the amateur radio persuasion, had any of
the following items that the wireless group could borrow for the construction
and testing of their antennas.

High-wattage soldering gun (~ or >260 watts)
SWR meter capable of operating in the 2.4GHz band
function generator
spectrum analyzer capable of operating in and around the 2.4 GHz band

If anyone knows where I can beg, borrow, or borrow time on equipment like
this, I'd be very grateful.

Of particular importance is the testing of our antenna designs to ensure
that they do not create harmful interference with other devices, and that
they don't damage our wireless cards.  Also, an SWR/Spectrum Analyzer will
allow us to tune our antenna designs for better performance and better impedance
matching.

regards,

Mark
