Model 600C-3 is a complete cylindrical near-fi eld system ideal for measuring broad beam (azimuth) antennaswith apertures less than three feet making it ideal for testing stacked linear arrays. The 600C-3 consists of avertical probe tower with an 3 ‘ (0.9 m) travel, high capacity stepper motor based azimuth positioner, controlcomputer, software and cabling. The probe stage carriage can accommodate probes large as a WR284 includingoptional roll and translation stages. This simple design is easy to assemble and align, accurate, and can bedismantled for transport or storage within one day.
The system interfaces with a wide variety of RF equipment and is capable of measuring amplitude and phasepatterns from S-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 ofscans based on measurement parameters and desired output. Measured data can be processed for far-fi eldor holographic patterns yielding complete characterization of the antenna’s performance. A single data setprovides information on antenna gain, side lobe structure, beam pointing and cross polarization.
The Model 600C-3 can be supplied with a variety of options to enhance system performance.
