mc Site Automation
To enable full EMC Site Automation D.A.R.E!! Instruments introduced a broad
range of products. These products provide a complete solution to automate
antenna emission measurements at multi-height (1 to 4m scan or 1 to 6m scan)
and EMC measurements at different EUT angles.
RadiControl®
The RadiControl® is a versatile controller plug-in card that fits into one of the
RadiCentre® mainframes and provides full control of the RadiTurn® turntable
and/or RadiTower® antenna mast. Next to this it supports frequency inverters,
potential-free contacts (up/down & on/off) and 12V signals. The RadiControl®
can be used manually using the TFT touchscreen display of the RadiCentre®
mainframe or using the RadiMation® software package, thus realizing fully
automated EMC tests.
RadiTurn®
The RadiTurn® is a low profile RF transparent surface mounted turntable. In
many applications it is difficult to install a turntable. This is especially true for
Open Area Test Sites and Anechoic chambers. Not only the space beneath the
floor is limited or absent, but also the electrical connection of the turntable with
the surrounding metal groundplane often leads to great disturbance problems
and high maintenance costs. This is why D.A.R.E!! Instruments has designed a
low profile RF transparent turntable. With a height of less than 80 mm and no
reflective planes, this tunrtable is excellent for use in both new and existing
EMC test environments. This combined with a maximum load capacity of up to
10.000 kg and a point load capacity of 250 kg, makes the RadiTurn® a highly
unique product.

The RadiTower® is a robust antenna tower dedicated for EMC use. The tower is
completely RF transparent because of use off polycarbonate/PVC, and is
weather proof and non hygroscopic. This is an excellent solution for use on an
Open Area Test Site or Antenna calibration site. The engine can be mounted
next or under the tower, depending on the specific site situation. The position of
the antenna is measured by means of an absolute encoder on the engine. This
delivers a standard accuracy of approximately 10mm. For extended use of
antenna calibrations, a high precision sensor can be mounted to the centre of the
antenna, thus obtaining an increased height accuracy of 1 mm. A software
protection is implemented that controls the upper- and lower limit, motor
direction and motion detector.
RadiPol®
The RadiPol® is an antenna H/V positioner that is driven by a LASER powered
electromotor that is contained in a small box attached to the antenna mast. The
box is fully covered by ferrite tiles, so it will not cause reflections. Compared to
a compressed air antenna positioned the RadiPol® operated very smoothly and
has calibration potentiometers for the horizontal and vertical antenna position.
The RadiPol® can be used with any type of antenna using adapters and has a
feedback loop to check the exact antenna angle at any point.
