ANTENNA MEASUREMENT AND RADOME TEST SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

MVG, the Broadest Choice of Antenna Test and Measurement Solutions The Microwave Vision Group (MVG) incorporates the technical expertise, product portfolios and infrastructures of four industry leaders: SATIMO, ORBIT/FR, AEMI and Rainford EMC. Combining our strengths, we are dedicated to developing turn-key antenna measurement sytems capable of meeting customer specific needs. We are committed to serving you through 18 offices worldwide, where you’ll find our sales, project management and customer support teams locally at your convenience. COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT RANGE CUTTING-EDGE...

From components and parts to full turn-key solutions, the right combination enables you to meet your specific measurement needs in a variety of testing configurations. Our offer allows you not only the facility of finding suitable off-the-shelf products, it also guarantees an upgrade path to enhance system capability. MVG products are grouped into several families: • Absorbing materials: pyramidal, wedged, convoluted; standard, clean room absorbers, rubberized absorbers, HP absorbers, EMC absorbers, walkways • Shielded chambers for Antenna Measurement and EMC: 10, 5, 3 m chambers, MIL-STD,...

The advanced technology in MVG systems supports our customers in their drive to innovate. Our aim: to give you a sharper technological edge and faster ROI (Return on Investment). The speed and accuracy of our systems stems from two cutting-edge technologies: O MV-ScanTM Technology © Advanced Precision Electro-mechanical Technology 1/ MV-SCANTM TECHNOLOGY: FAST - ACCURATE - SMART MV-Scan™ Technology is integrated into all our multi-probe systems. With MV-ScanTM, an array of probes is electronically scanned, increasing measurement speed while also gaining in measurement accuracy. It’s also...

recise knowledge of our systems’ error budget P Knowing the error budget is essential for predicting the accuracy and repeatability of a system. Each of our systems undergoes a validation process where the error budget is determined for reference during installation and maintenance. omparison studies C a second measure in system validation, we As perform comparison tests in different types of ranges (near-field, far-field, compact ranges, etc.). The results of these studies allow us to obtain the data necessary in fine tuning the accuracy and repeatability of our systems. MVG Spherical NF...

Smart The use of probe-arrays reduces the number of probe/DUT positions necessary to complete a test. This results in fewer mechanical movements. In addition, we offer a choice of geometries as well as different types of arrays to allow you to attain the most efficient configuration. Mechanical movements are thus minimized and speed and accuracy are maximized. The right geometry for your application array of probes can be integrated into different system An architectures. Optimized positioning configurations arious probe array and positioner configurations are V possible depending on...

Unlimited scan resolution in both azimuth and elevation ur multi-probe systems offer patented oversampling O capabilities in order to achieve unlimited scan resolution. Oversampling is done by combining automated mechanical movements and the electronically scanned probe array. The spacing between two probes of an array, for example 5.29° for the SG 64 is suitable for small antenna testing. For larger antennas, an additional mechanical rotation in elevation can complement the probe array azimuth scan. The positioning mast rotates in elevation, for instance ± 2.6° for the SG 64, in order to...

The linear motor drive system offers several important advantages over conventional drive systems: • No backlash • High acceleration • High motor force • xcellent mechanical dynamics; for very fast stepped-mode E measurements • ontinuous y-axis speed, up to 2 m/s for on-the-fly meaC surements Combined with MV-Cor™ on-the-fly positioning error correction, linear motorization allows superb mechanical accuracy of the planar scanner while maintaining high measurement speed. MV-CorTM - Increased Accuracy Using MV-Cor™, the corrected accuracy of mechanical systems is given by the repeatability of...

MVG Antennas and Probes At MVG, we design antennas with outstanding performance in mind. It begins with a careful design process, alternating simulation and measurements. It extends to the use of the most advanced machining techniques and quality materials to achieve tight mechanical tolerances. That’s why all our antenna characteristics are outstanding. And that’s why we can guarantee the best electrical performance/operational bandwidth trade-off. Antennas Designed for Outstanding Performance International Standards and Projects Meeting Future Technological Challenges The MVG antenna...
