Small cylindrical near-field measurement systems are ideal for measuring broad beam (azimuth) antennas with apertures less than 1.5 m (5 ft), making them ideal for testing stacked linear arrays. The scanners consist of a vertical probe tower with up to a 1.5 m (5 ft) travel, high capacity stepper motor-based azimuth positioner, control computer, software, and cabling. The high capacity probe carriage can accommodate probes as low as S-band including optional roll and translation stages. This simple design is easy to assemble and align, accurate, and can be dismantled for transport or storage within one working day.

Medium cylindrical near-field measurement systems are ideal for measuring broad beam (azimuth) antennas with apertures less than 3.7 m (12 ft) making them ideal for testing stacked linear arrays. The scanners consist of a vertical probe tower with up to a 3.7 m (12 ft) travel, high capacity stepper motor-based azimuth positioner, control computer, software and cabling. The high capacity probe carriage can accommodate probes as large as a WR1500 including optional roll and translation stages. This simple design is easy to assemble and align.
