FAQs of To Measure The Polar Pattern Of The Antenna:
Q: How do I use the turntable to measure the antennas polar pattern?
A: To measure an antennas polar pattern, securely mount your antenna using the universal mount. Set the desired rotation speed (1-10 RPM) and begin capturing signal strength with the analog needle meter as the turntable rotates from 0 to 360 degrees. Results can also be digitally recorded using the PC interface.
Q: What types of antennas are compatible with this measurement system?
A: The system features a universal mount, allowing compatibility with various standard antenna types. This makes it suitable for most conventional laboratory, industrial, or experimental antennas.
Q: When is calibration necessary, and how is it performed?
A: The system is factory calibrated. However, should manual recalibration be required, users can easily adjust settings using the provided manual adjustment option, ensuring ongoing measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can this polar pattern measurement system be set up?
A: You can set up the system on a laboratory bench or on a tripod, allowing for flexible use in both indoor labs and field environments.
Q: What is the process for connecting antennas and recording data?
A: Connect your antenna using coaxial cables with BNC connectors. As the system rotates the antenna, the analog meter provides real-time readings, which may be manually noted or digitally recorded using the optional PC interface.
Q: What are the benefits of its noise immunity and shielded design?
A: The shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring that measurement results are reliable and unaffected by external noise sources, crucial for precision testing.
