Portable scanners used for near-field antenna measurements are usually incapable of providing a large scan area with a high degree of probe position accuracy. This paper discusses a 4.5m x 2.0m portable scanner developed by NSI with a probe position accuracy on the order of 2 mils (0.050 mm) rms. An NSI patented optical measurement system measures the X, Y, and Z position, and provides real-time position correction capability. This lightweight, portable scanner combined with optical correction provides enhanced accuracy while reducing overall antenna measurement system costs and improving test chamber flexibility.
