Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Diamond Engineering
Desktop Antenna Measurement System! Also Known As DAMS
Diamond Engineering’s Desktop Antenna Measurement System has been designed to aid in
the testing and development of small to medium sized Antennas. Using state of the art software this
system enables you to make many different types of measurements with complete user-definable
configuration settings. The advanced Processing Feature enables you to not only plot 3D graphs of
the measurements, but save and recall those measurements for future use or comparison. Using the
Group Delay function will enable you to calculate the exact distance of the Test Antenna, Identify
Multipath rays, and eliminate the need to use another measuring device. Our software also allows you
to export your data to a 3rd party application or spreadsheet.
This manual will fully assist you step by step with Assembling, configuring, and using the
Desktop Antenna System. To achieve the full functionality of the rotator system we expect you to have
some prior knowledge about the concepts and theories about Microwaves and Antenna Design and
Development before using this software and rotator unit.
We cannot emphasize enough about the importance of fully reading and understanding this
manual before using this piece of equipment to avoid any risk of damaging the unit and possibly
voiding your warranty.
Best Regards, The Diamond Engineering Team
