Chamber Imaging and Range Probing Services
NSI-MI's Chamber Imaging and Range Probing Service will help you insure your test range provides you with the optimum and documented performance for your antenna and RCS measurement facility. NSI-MI engineers will bring a quiet zone field probe on-site to your facility and characterize the amplitude and phase flatness of the quiet zone in your indoor or outdoor far-field range or your Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) Our analysis capability with the 2D scanned data will also allow the identification of scattering sources and RF leakages.

Features
Consider when:
- Probing of quiet zone area for amplitude and phase ripple
- 2-D CW SAR imaging of reflections in chamber
- Report on range performance and recommendations for improvements
- Isolation of leakage and reflections in chamber
- Determination of faulty RF equipment
- Summary report of data and recommendations for improvement
- Facility configuration often changes significantly
- Adding new test equipment
- Before beginning a new testing program
- Performing system level tests and suspect leakages
- Outside interference is suspected
- Have not evaluated range performance in some time
- Planning to relocate the test facility
- Complying with government range performance specifications
- Undergoing full commissioning of a new installation
- Re-establishing or confirming performance specifications
- Detecting anomalies in measured antenna, radome, or RCS patterns and suspect range
