DAMS 5100/6100/7100 - 2-axis, 150lbs (68kg)
ANTENNA MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS & PRODUCTS
The DAMS x100 (5100/6100/7100) Series is our heavy-duty multi-axis antenna measurement system suited for devices up to 150 (68 kg). It’s perfect for large and unweildy antennas as the positioner is chain and gear driven motor, which enables it to maintain precision positioning even under great weight.
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 150 pounds (68 kg)
