Applications

• Point to Point Communication Antennas
• Phased-Arrays
• Reflector Antennas
• Radar Antennas

Capabilities

The PNF-XYV-1.8x1.8 supports NSI-MI, Keysight, and Rohde & Schwarz RF receivers and is capable of measuring amplitude and phase patterns from UHF to mmWave. The system includes a software workstation preloaded with NSI2000 Antenna Measurement Software and Windows® and provides automatic setup of scans based on measurement parameters and desired output. Measured data can be processed for far-field or holographic patterns yielding complete characterization of the antenna’s performance. A single data set provides information on antenna gain, side lobe structure, beam pointing and cross polarization.
