The RF Scanner is an Antenna Pattern Characterization, Measurement and Diagnostic Tool on you Lab-bench.


The RF Scanner is a compact bench-top scanner that characterizes antennas in your own lab environment in real-time.

The RF Scanner measures the amplitude and phase of near-field magnetic emissions and uses these data provides far-field patterns, bisections, EIRP and TRP and other parameters in seconds.

The RF Scanner give insights into the root causes of antenna performance challenges and help troubleshoot far-field radiation patterns in real-time.

  • Frequency Range of 300 MHz to 6.0 GHz

  • Far-Field Patterns and Bisections including EIRP / TRP / PRD, Circular and linear polarization and axial ratio patterns

  • Near-Field Insights such as Amplitude and Phase distribution available in  seconds

  • Gain, Efficiency and S11 chart with Supported VNAs

  • “Real-time” real-fast

  • Can be used to evaluate either standalone (i.e. passive) antennas or antennas that are embedded in wireless devices (i.e. active antennas). 

  • Simple set up and Easy to use
