Medium Vertical Planar System


Medium Vertical Planar Systems

NSI-MI’s Vertical Planar Near-Field (PNF-XYV) systems are ideal for testing medium to high gain antennas (≥15 dBi), including reflectors, phased arrays, and satellite antennas, with angular coverage up to ±80° from boresight. These systems support scan planes from 1.8 m to 6.1 m square and include high-capacity polarization and Z-translation stages for probes down to 0.75 GHz.
