APELC ATS-S-10 Antenna Test Stand

APELC’s ATS-S-10 antenna test stand designed for a wide variety of EMC testing. Constructed of heavy duty structural fiberglass, our antenna test stand is ideal for EMC testing with EM transparency requirements. With a vertical height adjustment up to 10 ft, 360 deg polarity adjustment every 45 deg, and azimuth angle range adjustment of ± 15 deg, the test stand is well-suited for nearly any configuration. Large 6” pneumatic casters allow for easy maneuvering over uneven surfaces.

Available in the following three grades of structural fiberglass:

1. Standard grade for indoor, polyester resin. Color: Olive Green
2. UV grade for indoor/outdoor, polyester resin with UV inhibitor. Color: Navy Gray
3. UV and fire-retardant grade for outdoor/outdoor, vinyl ester resin with UV inhibitor and superior moisture and corrosion resistance. Color: Beige

APELC offers the following five standard dipole antennas:

(a) 60 MHz: DP60-EG-NST
(b) 100 MHz: DP100-S-WST
(c) 250 MHz: DP250-S-WST
(d) 400 MHz: DP400-S-WST
(e) 500 MHz: DP500-S-WST

Antennas with center frequency of 250 MHz and above are compatible with ATS-S-10 antenna test stand and are quickly and easily interchangeable. Dipole antennas with center frequency below 250 MHz require a larger stand. Other frequencies are available upon request. Combine antennas and a stand with the appropriate rack system including Marx Generator, Power supply, Trigger unit, and Air Management unit for a complete turn-key, rugged, portable effects-testing source, ideal for MIL-STD 464(A/C) testing.

APELC’s portable effects testing high-power RF source is the ideal plaƞorm for MIL-STD 464C testing. A fully adjustable, portable, modular, and rugged design offers maximum versitility. Easily change modular antennas, 250MHz and 400MHz, for easy center freqency adjustment. Vary electric field strength anywhere from 20 to 250kV/m @ 1m.
