The MI-4193-18 is a position control unit engineered for antenna measurement systems. It generates Position Trigger signals to initiate measurement sequences at precise spatial coordinates, enabling accurate characterization of antenna performance across diverse measurement geometries including near-field, far-field, and spherical configurations.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: L-band to 110.0 GHz (mmWave)
Measurement Parameters: Amplitude and phase pattern characterization
System Integration: Operates as a core component within NSI-MI Technologies antenna measurement platforms, including compact range and planar near-field systems.
– Key Features
• Generates Position Trigger signals synchronized with measurement sequences
• Supports multiple measurement geometries and antenna test configurations
• Integrates with networked acquisition and receiver infrastructure
• Contributes to measurement accuracy and repeatability across wide frequency spans
– Typical Applications
• Antenna pattern measurement in compact range configurations
• Planar near-field antenna characterization
• Multi-channel, multi-frequency measurement sequences
