NSI-600C-12
Model 600C-12 is a complete cylindrical near-fi eld system ideal for measuring broad-beam (azimuth) antennas withapertures less than twelve feet making it ideal for testing stacked linear arrays. The 600C-12 consists of a verticalprobe tower with an 12’ (3.7 m) travel, high capacity stepper motor based azimuth positioner, control computer,software and cabling. The high capacity probe stage can accommodate probes as large as a WR1500 includingoptional roll and translation stages. This simple design is easy to assemble and align.
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-12 can be supplied with a variety of options to enhance system performance.
