SAMS Features

  Software features

· Real time graphic of antenna pattern

· Automatic/manual acquisition

· Multi-channel acquisition

· Frequency scanning acquisition (at each point, multi-frequency acquisition even in continuous mode)

· Active antenna control capability

· Polarization control

· Instrumentation independent acquisition software

· Controlling analyzers and positioner via dll drivers

· Acquisition Tolerance definable for each axis 

Innovations

· Up to 9 section axis (in addition to the sweep axis)

· Each axis is a mechanical, a synthesizer, an attenuator

· Frequency can be after the sweep loop (multi frequency acquisition at each position)

· Acquisition Speed Optimization

· Speed and acceleration Control

· Acquisition allowance control

· Hardware independent

· Acquisition configurations may be loaded/saved in order to replay preconfigured acquisitions

Acquisition modes

· Automatic (1 cut, or multi-cut)

· Step by step (stopping at every measurement position)

· Pause - Restart

· Maxima research function

· Phase center research function 

 

SAMS DA

Overview of Calculation Types (full version only)

· Calculating antenna lobe aperture, localising side lobes 

· Subtraction  or addition (vectorial, linear, decibels)  

· Energy calculation  

· Directivity calculation 

· Polarisation transformations 

· Ellipticity and polarisation loss calculation 

· Processing measurements obtained by rotating linear polarisation acquisition 

· Calculation of the front-to-back ratio 

· Correction of phase diagrams and determination of the phase centre position 

· Antenna gain calculation

· Two acquisition series (i.e. co- and cross polar for ex.) may be loaded simultaneously for processing.
