YIC Technologies RFScanner
The YIC Technologies RFScanner is an Antenna Pattern Characterisation, Measurement and Diagnostic Tool on your lab bench and covers the frequency range 300MHz to 6.0GHz
It can quickly show Near-Field Insights such as Amplitude and Phase distribution in seconds as well as Far-Field Patterns and Bisections including EIRP/TRP/PRD, circular and linear polarization and axial ratio patterns.
Please contact us for more information or a technical demonstration.
The YIC Technologies RFScanner is a compact bench-top scanner that characterises antennas in your own lab environment in real-time. The RFScanner measures the amplitude and phase of near-field magnetic emissions and uses these data provides far-field patterns, bisections, EIRP and TRP and other parameters in seconds. The RFScanner give insights into the root causes of antenna performance challenges and help troubleshoot far-field radiation patterns in real-time.
- Frequency Range of 300 MHz to 6.0 GHz
- Far-Field Patterns and Bisections including EIRP/TRP/PRD, circular and linear polarization and axial ratio patterns
- Near-Field Insights such as Amplitude and Phase distribution available in seconds
- Gain, Efficiency and S11 chart with Supported VNAs
- “Real-time” real-fast
- Can be used to evaluate either standalone (i.e. passive) antennas or antennas that are embedded in wireless devices (i.e. active antennas).
- Simple set up and easy to use
The YIC Technologies RFScanner provides far-field patterns, bisections, EIRP and TRP in seconds. Novel near-field results, including amplitude, polarity and phase give insights into the root causes of antenna performance challenges and help troubleshoot far-field radiation patterns.
