SAMSplus Control Unit for Antenna Matching Systems

SAMSplus is our latest and most efficient control unit for antenna matching systems. Thanks to years of experience and consistent use of numerous advice and feedback from customers a unique product in every respect was created.

With a 300 MHz CPU and up to 128 MB memory capacity SAMSplus offers a maximum of function and flexibility for all possible kinds of antenna matching. By the way – SAMS is an abbreviation for Swiss Antenna Matching System. That means you will get the maximum of technical benefit, simple operation and top quality.

The operation is done with the help of high-quality function-buttons and user-friendly menu technique. A colour graphic LCD display lets the user have access to all functions

For the first time SAMS makes it possible to use two transceivers and connect up to four antennas. With additional four customer defined additional functions you will get nearly unrestricted possibilities to connect and match every kind of antennas.

The unique SAMSplus function makes it possible to store tuning information of four antennas for different frequency ranges.

All adjustments are accessible as parameters via menu buttons. If necessary the display will provide an easy operation instruction and help. Many control and diagnosis information will give information about all important operational facts. That will make operation as safe as possible.
