The measurement antenna is a reciprocal, dual polarized antenna that mounts to the boom of the theta axis. In a TRP measurement this antenna receives the signal transmitted by the handset and sends it to a power meter or spectrum analyzer. In a TIS measurement it transmits to the handset.

Three different models are available. All three are provided with a quick disconnect system so that changing a measurement antenna takes less than one minute.

Patch Antennas

The PA-1 and PA-2 are dual polarized, dual band patch antennas. The band switching circuits are incorporated into the antenna and band switching is controlled automatically by the software.

PA-1 Probe Antenna

The PA-1 antenna covers the basic handset bands of AMPS, GSM, DCS and PCS plus the UMTS Tx band.

QR-1 Probe Antenna

The QR-1 is a broadband, dual polarized quad-ridged horn. It operates from 750 MHz to 6 GHz.

PA-2 Probe Antenna

The PA-2 antenna covers the GPS band plus UMTS Rx, Bluetooth, 802.11 and DMB.
