MegiQ RMS-0640 600MHz - 4GHz Radiation Measurement System

The Radiation Measurement System (RMS) is a unique turnkey system that measures Radiation Patterns and Total Radiated Power (TRP) through a 3-axis rotation.

The RMS is used for these measurements:

• Radiated output power patterns of a wireless device
• Harmonic radiation patterns (up to 4GHz or 6GHz) of wireless devices
• Gain and radiation patterns of standalone antennas, using the generator option
• Gain over frequency of antennas
• Radiation patterns over frequency of antennas
• Beamwidth and max gain of directional antennas, over frequency

While this is usually measured in an anechoic chamber to avoid reflections to affect the measurement, the RMS has a smart antenna design to reduce the sensitivity for reflections. This allows radiation measurements to be made in relatively small lab or office spaces.

An extensive evaluation at the Philips Innovations Services (PINS) anechoic labs has shown that in a normal environment the RMS can produce results that are comparable with anechoic measurements. The RMS system itself has an accuracy of ±1dB. In a reasonable space one can expect an extra uncertainty of 1dB. The repeatability of measurements is excellent at ±0.5dB.

Wideband Radiation Patterns

This set of Radiation Patterns of a Log Per antenna from 600MHz to 4GHz was measured in one rotation sequence:

What do MegiQ customers say?

“The RMS gives us a real insight in the performance of our wireless devices and saves a lot of testing time”   - Sievren de Vries, Chess Wise

“This unit is great, really excited about the performance I am seeing…Great unit at a very reasonable price point.” -  Steven, WI

“The MegiQ VNA is very useful in our production to screen ceramic antennas for their frequency range”  - Ivo Mols, Honeywell.

“I am very satisfied with the performance of the VNA0440 with Sandbox, the nice and clear documentation.  You can get started right away. And everything in a practical and sturdy case with all accessories. Congratulations.”  - Koen, Belgium

“The RMS gives us a real insight in the performance of our wireless devices and saves a lot of testing time”  - Siebren de Vries, Chess Wise.

“It is very convenient to work with. I finished the project on 400-465 MHz and 915 MHz and it worked very well. The device paid for itself in a month work.”  - Dr. Siavash Sheikh Zeinoddin, Calgary University

"So far the measurements have been great and I\'m really enjoying the simplicity of operation compared to the bit R+S equipment!" - Dustin, Silver Built, CA
