Winegard currently maintains an extensive portfolio of antenna test and measurement capabilities to create a comprehensive testing facility that
can test virtually any antenna design. Winegard testing ranges include:
NSI Compact Range:
Winegard's state-of-the-art NSI compact range antenna measurement system is used to test antennas up to 2 meters in diameter and at frequencies between 0.5 GHz to 40 GHz.
It provides comprehensive and valuable information on the performance of the antenna under test (co- and cross-polarization patterns, gain, sidelobe structure, beam width, beam pointing, and axial ratio).
The compact range generates a plane wave at a much shorter distance than in a far-field test range environment.
This allows for indoor testing at any day in the year.
The compact range is housed in a room which has RF absorber on the side walls and on the ceiling to minimize multipath.
Winegard Company uses NSI antenna measurement software and a computer for data acquisition and processing.
See below for a sample of radiation pattern measured on the compact range.
Capabilities of this range include:
NSI Spherical Near-Field Range:
Winegard's state-of-the-art NSI spherical near-field range collects data over a spherical surface surrounding the
antenna under test.
Capabilities of this range include:
NSI Planar Near-Field Range:
Winegard's state-of-the-art NSI vertical planar near-field antenna measurement system is used to test medium
to high gain antennas (gain higher than 15 dBi).
It provides comprehensive and valuable information on the performance of the antenna under test
(co- and cross-polarization patterns, gain, sidelobe structure, beam width, beam pointing, axial ratio, etc.).
Capabilities of this range include:
Outdoor Far-Field Range:
Winegard's outdoor far-field antenna range measurement system is used to test antennas of different sizes and shapes at frequencies between DC to 3 GHz (AM/FM/VHF/UHF).
It provides comprehensive and valuable information on the performance of the antenna under test (co- and cross-polarization patterns, gain, front-to-back ratio, and beam width). 2D polar plots are generated for the AUT. See below for a sample of radiation pattern measured on the Winegard outdoor far-field antenna range.
