What is a positioner in an antenna measurement system?

  • A.The software that computes the far field from near field data
  • B.The device that holds the source antenna at a fixed height and angle
  • C.The mechanism that rotates the antenna to each measurement angle
  • D.The instrument that records the received amplitude against angle

Answer: C

The positioner turns the antenna under test in azimuth and elevation, or in roll, and reports its angle to the acquisition system, so its accuracy and repeatability enter every measured pattern directly. Multi axis positioners allow arbitrary pattern cuts. The receiver records level, software performs the transform, and the source mount is a separate structure. Mechanical accuracy is a first order contributor to an electrical measurement, which is easy to forget when reading a pattern plot.
