MVG - Rotary Positioners - Performance Series - Virtual EL/AZ Positioners - Light Duty
This unique dual-axis positioner is particularly suited for testing direction-sensing antennas. The virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system invariably behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.

More Product Information
The EH118 EMC Horn combines stable gain performance and low VSWR with wide band frequency operation. The horn is single linearly polarized with excellent cross-polar discrimination. The unique horn design suppresses any possible excitation of higher order modes in the aperture and maintains a well-defined smooth radiation pattern in the direction of the boresight axis throughout the operational bandwidth.
MVG light duty polarization positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction and offer turntable diameters up to 12.6 in (320 mm) . Their rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operations.
DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements
FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.
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 performance series has recently been expanded to include medium-duty, dual-axes positioners: the new AL-438X series. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical AZ/EL positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and
Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This particular series provides a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads. A large variety of options is available for this ORBIT/FR standard product family.

ULTRA UH series polypropylene based hybrid electromagnetic EMC absorbers are the latest technology for EMC/RF test applications.
The polypropylene material has a highly uniform carbon density throughout the material, which provides for more predictable results with no discontinuities.
Its unique technology is a critical factor in achieving the highest electromagnetic reflectivity performance in an MVG EMC anechoic chamber.
