Test Equipment Description

Diamond Engineering DAMS x250 Series Antenna Measurement Systems

Wide Frequency Ranges
Capable of measuring ranges from DC to 6 GHz (DAMS 5250), DC to 18 GHz (DAMS 6250) or DC to 40 GHz (DAMS 7250).

Dual-Axis Movement
360º azimuth range with up to ± 90º of elevation tilt.

High Resolution
Capable of .25º steps azimuth and .25º steps elevation (DAMS 5250), or up to .10º steps azimuth and .10º steps elevation (DAMS 6250/7250).

Weight Capacity
Able to carry payloads of up to 150 lbs.

Precision Rotary Joint
The rotary joint is constructed from a special carbon based material that allows noiseless measurements up to 6 GHz (DAMS 5250), 18 GHz (DAMS 6250) or 40 GHz (DAMS 7250).

Deluxe Measurement Software
All systems come complete with DAMS Measurement Studio which features various special plots and functions (DAMS Measurement Studio Pro included with DAMS 6250/7250).

Spherical Plot Module
Map measured antenna data over a sphere or an ideal isotropic sphere (DAMS 6250/7250 only).

Complete Warranty
Our 3-year warranty covers all parts, labor and technical support.

Included RF Cables
All systems include two 10’ calibrated measurement cables. Precision low-loss SMA cables (DAMS 5250), precision ultra-low-loss SMA cables certified to 18 GHz (DAMS 6250) or precision low-loss cables with 2.92mm “K” connectors certified to 40 GHz (DAMS 7250).

Includes All Accessories
This is the complete measurement solution and includes everything besides the VNA and computer (DAMS 6250/7250 only).

Precision Drive Train
Steel gear and worm, with ball and tapered roller bearings for high torque and smooth motion.

Advanced Measurement Calculator
Takes the hastle out of performing detailed and complex computations.
