3D Antenna Measurement System

The VNAMS-3D-6000 is an advanced measurement system that combines a 2-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with a 3D far-field antenna measurement system, offering enhanced functionality and precision for antenna designers and engineers. This innovative tool is designed to deliver both S-parameter and full 3D far-field measurements, providing an all-in-one solution for comprehensive antenna performance analysis.

VNA Capabilities

• Frequency Range: Operates from 50 kHz to 6 GHz, ideal for a wide range of antenna and RF testing applications.
• Measurement Parameters: Measures S11 and S21, displaying results in both Logarithmic and Smith Chart formats for detailed impedance and transmission analysis.
• Educational and Laboratory-Friendly: Cost-effective solution for antenna laboratories, perfect for both lectures and hands-on learning.
• Calibration Kit Included: The VNA comes with a built-in calibration kit, ensuring accurate, reliable measurements from the outset.
• Standard Software: Operates with easy-to-use VNA software, streamlining the testing and analysis process for users.

3D Antenna Farfield Measurement System

• Amplitude and Phase Measurement: Capable of measuring both amplitude and phase to give a complete picture of antenna performance across all dimensions.
• Full 3D Measurement: Offers the ability to measure antenna radiation patterns in three dimensions, providing more comprehensive data than traditional 2D systems.
• Multiple Measurement Angles: Flexible to capture measurements across a full 360-degree range, delivering precise radiation pattern data.
• Integrated Reference Antennas: Equipped with four reference antennas, ensuring accurate results across a broad frequency range (800 MHz to 6 GHz).
• Automatic Indexing and Positioning: Includes automated positioning for consistent alignment, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
• User-Friendly Software: 3D far-field measurement software enables easy input and visualization of data, supporting both Cartesian and Polar plot formats.
