The 400V-30x22 is an ideal system for measuring medium and high gain antennas (>15 dBi) with large apertures making it suitable for testing large arrays or reflector antennas. The 400V-30x22 is based on a inverted “T” design and is constructed of a steel tower and granite base. The granite X-axis base provides excellent mechanical and thermal stability. This robust design is easy to maintain and align, and is highly accurate. The high capacity probe carriage accommodates probes as low as WR1500 including optional roll and Z stages.
The system interfaces with a wide variety of RF equipment and is capable of measuring amplitude and phase patterns from L-band to mmWave bands. The system includes NSI Antenna Measurement Software.
The system software runs on a Pentium based measurement workstation and provides automatic setup of scans based on measurement parameters and desired output. Measured data can be processed for far-field or holographic patterns yielding complete characterization of the antenna’s performance. A single data set provides information on antenna gain, side lobe structure, beam pointing and cross polarization.
The 400V-30x22 can be supplied with a variety of options and can be upgraded to allow for cylindrical or spherical measurements to expand system utility.
