Radome Measurement Systems - NSI-MI

Radome Measurement Systems - NSI-MI

Today’s military and commercial aircraft carry a vast array of antennas for specialized and vital functions. Communications, navigation, weather and fire control antennas must perform as specified to meet safety and mission requirements. Radomes must conceal and protect antennas without interfering with or degrading transmit/receive capabilities. As the leading provider of radome measurement systems for both military and commercial applications, our comprehensive range of products is designed to meet or exceed the requirements for radome testing, ensuring their performance and reliability.

NSI-MI Technologies offers commercial radome systems specifically designed for after-repair testing of commercial aircraft radomes. Our expert team has developed advanced antenna measurement systems that are capable of accurately testing the performance of radomes used in commercial aviation. The systems are capable of making measurements described in the widely referenced document DO-213A. After repair, radome testing includes transmission efficiency sidelobe level (SLL) measurements. Test systems are available in both C band (5.3 GHz to 5.74 GHz) and X band (9.3 GHz to 9.5 GHz) frequency ranges.

Features
  • Highly accurate and repeatable results
  • Easy to use and maintain
  • Scalable system allows for future expansion
  • Test system supports all current radome sizes
  • Most affordable system on the market today
  • Guaranteed test results that meet or exceed RTCA/DO-213A

Whether you prefer the electronically calibrated antenna or null search BSE test method, when it comes to testing the accuracy of military radomes, we have you covered. Choose NSI-MI for reliable and accurate testing of your military radomes. Our features and capabilities guarantee precise measurements and superior performance.

Features
  • Supports either electronically-calibrated antenna or null search boresight sight error test method
  • Beam deflection error and transmission efficiency measurements at multiple frequencies are accomplished in one radome scan without manual intervention
  • Using the calibrated antenna approach, typical test time for simultaneous beam deflection error and transmission efficiency is approximately one hour
  • Antenna is oriented within radome as it would be on aircraft
  • Integrated Position Controller's (link this to the IPC page) coordinated motion used to ensure that the radome/antenna polarization relationship is the same as that seen in use on the aircraft, and so that the feed polarization is coordinated with the AUT as needed to maintain polarization alignment
  • Data post-processing and reporting in test positioner roll/azimuth coordinates or aircraft elevation/azimuth coordinates
  • Innovative cable management design essentially eliminates moving cables LO power to signal and reference mixers automatically varied with frequency to continually optimize linearity of the receiver
  • Full suite of pattern distortion data collection and analysis
