What it does

By measuring the electromagnetic field close to the antenna, the near-field system gives detailed radiation pattern analysis in a controlled environment. It suits complex antenna designs and labs where a far-field range will not fit.

WiSPEC supplies both planar and spherical near-field systems. Measured data is mathematically transformed to far-field patterns, with the accuracy that advanced antennas for modern communication systems demand.
