Model 600C-8 is a complete cylindrical near-fi eld system ideal for measuring broad-beam (azimuth) antennaswith apertures less than eight feet making it ideal for testing stacked linear arrays. The 600C-8 consists of avertical probe tower with an 8’ (2.4 m) travel, high capacity stepper motor based azimuth positioner, controlcomputer, software and cabling. The high capacity probe stage can accommodate probes as large as a WR650including optional roll and translation stages. This simple design is easy to assemble and align, accurate, andcan be dismantled 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 mid-range L-band to mmWave Band. 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-field orholographic patterns yielding complete characterization of the antenna’s performance. A single data set providesinformation on antenna gain, side lobe structure, beam pointing and cross polarization.
The Model 600C-8 can be supplied with a variety of options to enhance system performance.
