Description
The Dual Antenna Mast DAM 4.0-P-20kg is suitable in magnetic absorption chambers. The antenna mast, with the exception of the drive unit, is fabricated from plastic (PVC and reinforced fibreglass). Metal parts are located only in the base plate and the drive mechanism (max. 0.3 m above ground level).
Antenna Adapters for all commercially available antennas are available upon request. All antennas during polarisation rotate around their axis to eliminate any elevation errors.
The IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) bus provides an additional control option for all functions, when operated with the NCD Controller.
