Masts and Turntables

RadiControl ®

RadiControl^® is a universal versatile controller that provides full control over virtual any brand of antenna tower and/or turntable. Next to this the controller supports frequency inverters, potential-free contacts (up/down & on/off), 12 V signals and/or a RS232 bus (standard). Optionally the controller can be equipped with an USB interface or IEEE 488 bus. The controller can be used manually or by of DARE!! Instruments software package RadiMation^®, thus realizing fully automated EMC tests.

RadiTurn ®

RadiTurn^® is a low profile RF transparent surface mounted turntable. In many applications it is difficult to build-in a turntable. This is especially true for Open Area Test Sites and Anechoic chambers. Not only the space beneath the floor is limited or absent, but also the electrical connection of the turntable with the surrounding floor often leads to great disturbance problems and high maintenance costs. This is why D.A.R.E!! Instruments has designed a low profile RF transparent turntable. With a height of less than 80 mm and no reflective planes, this table is excellent for use in both new and existing EMC test environments. This combined with a maximum load capacity of 10.000 kg and a point load capacity of 250 kg, makes this a highly unique product.

RadiTower ®

RadiTower^® is a robust antenna tower for EMC use. The tower is completely RF transparent because of use off polycarbonate/PVC, and is weather proof and non hygroscopic.

This is an excellent solution for use on an Open Area Test Site or antenna calibration site. The engine can be mounted next or under the tower, depending on the specific site situation. The position of the antenna is measured by means of an absolute encoder on the engine.

This delivers a standard accuracy of approximately 10 mm. For extended use of antenna calibrations, a high precision sensor can be mounted to the centre of the antenna, thus obtaining an increased height accuracy of 1 mm. A software protection is implemented that controls the upper- and lower limit, motor direction and motion detector.
