Overview
The Pneumatic Antenna Stand PAS 2.0 is specifically designed for measurements in electromagnetic absorption chambers at a fixed measuring height.
The PAS 2.0, with the exception of the rotary actuator, is fabricated from plastic (PVC and reinforced fibreglass).
Polarisation occurs using compressed air. A solenoid valve located outside of the chamber regulates the compressed air flow. The antenna bar height is manually adjustable.
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 SCU/MCU or NCD Controller.
