MI-55000 Family of Azimuth over Elevation over Azimuth Positioners

Features

  • Versatile configuration allows precise pointing of the upper AZ/EL positioner
  • Rugged construction assures superior reliability and longevity

Description

The MI-55000 Family of Azimuth over Elevation over Azimuth Positioners is our most versatile family of positioners. The lower azimuth axis on these positioners allows precise pointing of the upper azimuth over elevation axes.

This configuration allows a range designer to configure multiple-source ranges. With this range design, the test positioner is located at the intersection point of the different source antenna’s radiating path.
