Probe antennas are offered as both standard and custom models with a rectangular waveguide interface. Probe antennas can only support linear polarization. These antennas are often used to measure the gain of other antennas by comparing the signal levels of the probe antenna and antenna under testing. The standard models operate across the full waveguide band and offer 6.5 dB nominal gain and 115 and 60 degrees half power beamwidth at center frequency. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 8.2 to 170 GHz.

Range Automation System
ELE-RAS
-
NSI-MI’s Range Automation System (ELE-RAS) has been specially designed to automate the time-consuming tasks associated with antenna range reconfiguration. This system eliminates operator intervention for range reversal, band switching, and power level optimization in antenna measurement facilities. This hands-off approach reduces uncertainty, extends the life of sensitive components, reduces RF leakage, and dramatically increases throughput and productivity. The modular architecture allows each ELE-RAS system to be optimized for maximum performance. ELE-RAS is software and receiver agnostic, meaning that it can be used to improve efficiency in virtually any antenna test range. Standard solutions are available for 20 GHz and 50 GHz applications. The ELE-RAS architecture also supports custom solutions to meet your unique measurement challenges.

The Eurotech RFID FS RFID accurately rewinds rolls of RFID labels and validates their receptivity by running them through the Voyantic Tagsurance RFID inspection system. The unit allows stopping at a predetermined editing spot for the removal and replacement of the defective piece, as well as indicating defective labels by a mark printed by an inkjet system integrated with the machine. Adjustment of the closed loop tension control system can be made through adjusting the parameters on the software that control the servo motor control system. This gives the customer a virtual infinite range with which to wind their labels without cracking the inlay or antenna. As well accurate web adjustment and guidance is provided with a web guide system complete with an ultrasonic sensor. The Eurotech RFID FS RFID label inspection system is equipped with the Voyantic Tagsurance for testing the performance of RFID tags. This is done by verifying that the tag responds to commands on its whole operational frequency range, which means testing the tag on multiple frequencies, also outside the RFID reader frequency. Accurate power output combined with the Voyantic Snoop Pro antenna, optimized for testing tags inline at high speed, allows defining precise acceptance criteria and achieving stable quality.

Automotive Solutions
-
Over the years, we have acquired profound, specific expertise in a number of areas, especially with respect to RF assembly and antenna technology testing. To give an example, we have acted as general contractor for implementing a number of rotary indexing tables for testing and labelling antenna amplifiers. The implementation as a rotary table has a number of advantages, since all mounting and test processes, as well as the handling of defective parts, are interlocked and concatenated, thereby effectively eliminating possible error sources during these process steps.
