The NSI model 700S-300 is an ideal system for measuring radiation characteristics of non-moving antennas which require a full hemisphere coverage and can not be tested using the planar near field technique. A traditional spherical near-field system would require the antenna to either move in one or two axes, however the NSI-700S-300 uses a novel dual-axis probe motion design to allow the antenna to remain stationary which is ideal for satellite or radar antenna testing. The system interfaces with a wide variety of NSI, Agilent, or Rohde & Schwarz RF equipment. The Model 700S-300 includes NSI’s NSI 2000 Antenna Measurement Software. This software runs on a Windows 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 Model 700S-300 can be supplied with a variety of options to enhance system performance.
The 700S-300 consists of an arch roll scanner with scanning radius of 8 ft (2.4 m). The phi rotator can operate at speeds up to 30°/s.
