System can support both vertical, horizontal and tilted nearfield plane orientations as well as spherical, cylindrical nearfield and far-field measurements. Pedestal, arm extensions, floor slide can be added to increase scan area coverage or accommodate automated calibration and other test configurations. Use pre-programmed mechanical positioning to quickly transition between test modes or provide ease in device mounting and unmounting. This type of system is highly re-configurable, easily automated, and able to satisfy a variety of testing needs making it suitable for both engineering and production environments.
This single robot system can produce a maximum 5 ft-x5 ft (1.5m x 1.5m) vertical near-field measurement, suitable for characterizing antennas up to 1m in diameter. System can be easily upgrade to support horizontal and tilted planar near-field, spherical near-field and far-field measurements.
System is capable of performing phi/theta spherical near-field or far-field measurements on antennas up to 1m in diameter. Two models available for handling loads up to either 45kg or 270kg maximum. For larger antennas, an additional AUT rotation stage can be added for performing theta/phi measurements. System can be easily upgraded to support planar or cylindrical near-field measurements with just an additional software option.
System is capable of performing cylindrical near-field measurements up to 8 ft (2.4m) in vertical dimension. System can be easily upgraded to support planar and spherical near-field measurements.
