Satamo and NSI Measurement System

Description
The SNF-RAZ-0.7 is a pre-configured 3-axis spherical near-field measurement system ideal for measuring low to medium gain antennas from 0.70 to 110.0 GHz. The system is constructed of high strength aluminum and can support antenna-under-test (AUT) payloads of up to 18 kg (40 lb).

Features
700 MHz to mmWave measurements
Full spherical characterization
Automatic scan setup
Powerful plotting and antenna analysis software
Far-field, holographic and near-field patterns

Capabilities
The SNF-RAZ-0.7 supports NSI-MI, Keysight, and Rohde & Schwarz RF receivers and is capable of measuring amplitude and phase patterns from UHF band 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.

Applications
Cellular Base Stations
Dipole Arrays
General Broad Pattern Antennas
