Multiband radiated emission test without turntable

[incognito]

Is it possible to set the Radiated Emissions Anechoic Chamber (Multiband) to not use the turntable? We often have measurements which do not require changing the faces but we are forced to keep pressing the button for setting the turntable to 0 degrees. With lots of multiband measurements this gets frustrating as it requires user intervention for each band.

It is not required to have a turntable selected in a Multiband radiated emission measurement.
In the configuration of the Multiband test, it is possible to specify 'Start Angle', 'End Angle' and 'Steps'. If you specify the same 'Start Angle' and 'End Angle', and only specify a single 'Step' ('1'), then the multiband emission test will assume that only that single specified angle should be measured.

In this configuration there are two possibilities related to the selected turntable device in the the selected test-site.

• If a turntable device is specified in the selected test-site, RadiMation will control the turntable to turn to the specified angle.
• If no turntable device is specified in the selected test-site, RadiMation will assume that the EUT is already positioned on that specified angle. No actions on the turntable will be taken.

As long as a single angle is measured, and no turntable device is specified in the test-site, it is possible to use the Multiband Radiated Emission test without a turntable.

Some additional suggestions:

• The same can be done for the Antenna tower. If the lowest height and the heighest height are on the same value, and the number of steps is 1, no antenna tower device driver is needed in the testsite.
• The same configuration for the turntable and antenna tower can also be used in a Multiband Radiated Immunity test.
