DAMS 5000/6000/7000- 2-axis, 10lbs (4.5kg) or 20lbs (9kg)
ANTENNA MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS & PRODUCTS
The DAMS x000 (5000/6000/7000) Series is a highly versatile multi-axis antenna measurement system suited for devices up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg) for DAMS 5000, or 20 pounds (9 kg) for DAMS 6000 or 7000. 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 Measurements (DAMS 5000 will perform partial 3D without Pro software upgrade)
• Far Field Parameters (gain, beam width, efficiency, directivity, polarization, isolation, and more)
• OTA Measurements (TRP/TIS)
• Phase Center Measurements
• Spherical Near Field (optional)
Highlights
• Dual-axis movement
• Precision rotary joint
• Extremely high resolution (up to 0.0625º steps azimuth and 0.10º steps elevation)
• 20 pound weight capacity
• Complete 1+ year warranty (model dependent)
