Automated antenna testing has become economical with the MI Technologies Series 2080 Antenna Analyzer. Since its introduction last year, new computer hardware and software additions have enhanced the system performance.

This paper will provide a brief overview of the system and its enhancements. It is recognized that testing requirements differ and an automated system must be capable of adapting to a specific test. The Series 2080 has a flexible data base and display programs which permit special antenna testing. A discussion of meeting special test requirements and the cost benefits of automated testing will be made.
