ANTENNA MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS & PRODUCTS

Diamond Engineering D6050 Series

The D6050 Series is a highly versatile multi-axis antenna measurement system suited for devices up to 25 pounds (11.5 kg). The non-metallic, belt-driven head provides a low-reflection environment ideal for electrically small or omni-directional antennas.

Key Features and Functions

• 2D & 3D Spherical Measurements (AZ over EL, EL over AZ, XYZ planes and more)

• Far Field Parameters (gain, beamwidth, efficiency, directivity, polarization, isolation, and more)

• OTA Measurements (TRP/TIS)

• Phase Center Measurements

• Spherical Near Field (optional)

Highlights

• Dual rotary joints

• Multiple configuration options

• Indexable mast offset up to 23” from center

• Non-metallic DUT mounting axis

• Ultra-high precision (up to 0.02º)

• Ideal for most antennas up to 25 pounds

What’s Included?

• The standard D6050 package features:

2-axis positioner
DAMS Antenna Measurement Studio
Precision RF cables
Precision dual rotary joints
DUT mounting hardware
Tools and documentation
3-year warranty
