Armed Forces

Radar and transmission installations, antenna farms and their connecting leads are regarded as radiation sources.

Radar field measurements

Measurement task:

Measurement technology featuring high dynamic range is required to evaluate high pulsed power levels. True RMS performance (e.g., using thermosensors) is often preferred.

Frequency range:

1 GHz....40 GHz

The measurement solution

Detection of leaks

Measurement task:

Waveguides and rotating couplings are subject to wear and aging and should therefore be checked regularly. Defects may cause extremely high field strengths. This requires sensors that are virtually indestructible.

Frequency range:

1 GHz....40 GHz

The measurement solution

Satellite installations

Measurement task:

Very low field strengths are usually expected in areas surrounding terrestrial stations. The measurement technology and corresponding probe should feature excellent sensitivity.

Frequency range:

Military systems 8...9 GHz, 43.5....45.5 GHz
Satellite equipment 4...6 GHz, 11 ...14 GHz

The measurement solution

Communication installations

Measurement task:

In the near field area, E- and H-fields must be measured separately. Several antennas situated close together often emit different frequencies. Especially on ships, such installations are located in the proximity of people mandating continual measurement. Shaped probes make measurement considerably easier.

Frequency range:

(150kHz) 30 MHz ... 3 GHz
