Planar near-field measurement scanner is an ideal system for measuring medium and high gain antennas (>15 dBi), making it suitable for testing feeds and arrays or reflector antennas. The Scanner is constructed of in such a way so that it can be easy to assemble and align, accurately, and can be quickly dismantled for relocation or storage.

The system interfaces with a wide variety of RF instruments, capable of measuring amplitude and phase patterns from L-band to mm-Wave bands (1 – 200 GHz). Measured data can be processed for far-field antenna radiation pattern or holographic aperture distribution.

A single data set provides complete characterization of the antenna’s gain, side lobes structure, beam pointing, cross polarization and other antenna parameters.
