MVG - Rotary Positioners - AZ/EL/ROLL / Null Seeker Positioner
The Null Seeker Positioner is used in development and production testing to emulate flight movement of a device encasing null-seeker sensors. Its high motion dynamics and ultra-precise angular positioning, rates, and acceleration allow for accurate evaluations of null seeker technology (ie. RF signal nulls transmitted from directive antennas).

More Product Information
This compact EMC Chamber with a 3 meter test range will settle into test areas of limited space while continuing to produce exceptional performance for EMC measurement. Emission test volumes of up to 1.5m are accommodated with very repeatable results. Suitable for EMC pre-compliance emissions and EMC compliance immunity testing.
The MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series AZ/EL/AZ Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio. These positioners support vertical loads up to 50,000 lbs (20,680 kg).
The AL-4188 series LCUs are portable, wireless hand-held units that are connected to a PCU/positioner controller via a wireless RF link. These LCUs utilize the PCU/ controller’s basic control, limit and supply circuits. They incorporate a rotary switch for axis selection, limit indicators, and a potentiometer for speed and direction control.
Aperture field probe systems are used to evaluate the extraneous signals that exist in the area surrounding the device under test due to reflections and other transmitting sources.
MVG offers a complete range of field probes of varying sizes and configurations to meet diverse testing requirements.
