ORBIT FR FScan - Frame Scanners - Manual (Page 2)

107
FScan is a vertical near-field planar scanner system that is a perfect solution for antenna
measurement applications where a phased array, high gain, or reflector antenna is under evaluation.
The FScan system is suitable for small to medium antennas due to the slim cross section scanner
structure that fits into small chambers and allows maximum travel.
