Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Diamond Engineering

Desktop Antenna Measurement System! Also Known As DAMS

Diamond Engineering’s Desktop Antenna Measurement System has been designed to aid in the testing and development of small to medium sized Antennas. Using state of the art software this system enables you to make many different types of measurements with complete user-definable configuration settings. The advanced Processing Feature enables you to not only plot 3D graphs of the measurements, but save and recall those measurements for future use or comparison. Using the Group Delay function will enable you to calculate the exact distance of the Test Antenna, Identify Multipath rays, and eliminate the need to use another measuring device. Our software also allows you to export your data to a 3rd party application or spreadsheet.

This manual will fully assist you step by step with Assembling, configuring, and using the

Desktop Antenna System. To achieve the full functionality of the rotator system we expect you to have some prior knowledge about the concepts and theories about Microwaves and Antenna Design and Development before using this software and rotator unit.

We cannot emphasize enough about the importance of fully reading and understanding this manual before using this piece of equipment to avoid any risk of damaging the unit and possibly

voiding your warranty.

Best Regards, The Diamond Engineering Team
