Radome Boresight Error System

A typical RBEM system consists of radome and antenna positioner fixtures. The radome positioner has nine axes of adjustable motion, three of which are servoed. All three of the antenna positioner axes - vertical, horizontal, and antenna roll - are servoed. The control console includes a PC, with National Instruments' LabVIEW software tools, which fully automates the test sequences, data acquisition, and analysis.
  
Features:

  • High dynamic range of RF measurement.
  • Precision, servo-controlled mechanical motion.
  • Adaptability to virtually any radar system - sequential lobing, simultaneous lobing (phase and amplitude)
  • Far-field measurements:
    Antenna pattern with and without radome
    Radome boresight error
    Radome boresight error slope
    Radome transmission
    Radome reflection
  • Data compression and analysis:
    Pass/fail
    Graphing
