The 400V-60x40G 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-60x40G is based on a inverted“T” design and is constructed of a thermally stable granite base and a steel tower. This robust design is easyto maintain and align, and highly accurate. The high capacity probe carriage accommodates probes as low asWR1500 including optional roll and Z stages.
The system interfaces with a wide variety of RF equipment and is capable of measuring amplitude and phasepatterns 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 ofscans based on measurement parameters and desired output. Measured data can be processed for far-fieldor 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 system can be supplied with a variety of options and can be upgraded to allow for cylindrical or sphericalmeasurements to expand system utility.
