360¡Æ independent rotation in both azimuth and ortho axes
Angular positioner accuracy within +/- 0.25¡Æ
Variable speed rotation
Fiber optic control lines eliminate RF noise
The Model 2015 Medium Duty Multi-Axis Positioner is designed to provide smooth rotation of a test object in both theta and phi axes. Typically this unit is used in systems that measure spherical antenna patterns and total effective radiated power of a wireless device. MAPS units are currently in operation at several CATL labs. Options include the SAM Phantom (head or head and shoulders) and our Positioning Controller with GPIB and EMQUEST Software. The units are constructed with low reflective dielectric materials to minimize RF obstruction or distortion.
Positioning MAPS Model 2015 has been carefully designed from the frame up to minimize EMI noise, and offer minimal physical obstruction to RF fields. Motor units enclosed in RF shielded enclosures are designed to be placed below the absorber. Signal lines from motor to the optional Positioning Controller are fiber optic. The unit is designed for structural integrity with low mass, low RF reflective dielectric materials.
