BAM 4.5-P Boresight Antenna Mast

The Boresight Antenna Mast BAM 4.5-P is suitable in magnetic absorption chambers. The antenna mast, with the exception of the drive unit, is fabricated from plastic (PVC and reinforced fibreglass). The BAM 4.5-P has additionally an electrical tilt function from -18.5° to +45°, which automatically tilts during height scan. The tilting angle can be adjusted easily in accordance with the distance of the antenna to the EUT.

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 polarization rotate around their axis to eliminate any elevation errors. The LAN (TCP/IP) - interface provides an additional control option for all functions, when operated with the FCU or NCD Controller.
