D6025 Series
The D6025 Series is a highly versatile multi-axis antenna measurement system suited for devices up to 25 pounds (11.5 kg). The non-metallic, belt-driven head provides a low-reflection environment ideal for electrically small or omni-directional antennas.
What’s Included?
The standard D6025 package features a 2-axis positioner, our powerful DAMS Antenna Measurement Studio, precision RF cables and rotary joints, all tools and documentation, plus DUT mounting hardware. Everything is backed by 3-year warranty.
Educational discounts are available for students, teachers or staff of universities or technical schools.
