MI Technologies Completes Large Turntable Positioner for EMI/EMC Testing

MI Technologies recently delivered an 11-meter, MI-7121 Turntable to South Korea's Agency for Defense Development (ADD). The steel turntable will be used for EMI and EMC testing of aircraft and large tactical vehicles.

MI Technologies' MI-7121 ground-level drive-on turntable is ideally suited for EMI, EMC or on-vehicle antenna testing. The strength and size of the MI-7121 makes it ideal for telematics testing of large vehicles. The outer rim of the turntable's surface platter is supported by a rolling ring and fixed castor assemblies which allow a vehicle to drive onto the turntable from any direction and be placed anywhere on the platter. The vehicle can be moved as needed for antenna testing to position the antenna at the center of rotation. Click Here for the full story.


MI Technologies to Host Test and Measurement Solutions Center at AMTA 2007

MI Technologies is making its best engineering talent available for focused consulting sessions on a wide range of test and measurement issues during AMTA, 2007 in St. Louis, November 4-9.

Offered at AMTA for the second year, The Solutions Center offers AMTA participants an opportunity to discuss their particular antenna, radar cross-section, radome measurement or test range issues with MI Technologies' engineers in a casual, non-sales environment.

The MI Technologies 'Solutions Center' will be open Monday through Thursday during the symposium. Participants are urged to reserve their session in advance.

Jeff Fordham, Vice President of Marketing for MI Technologies, said, "We're bringing our senior engineers to AMTA to listen, and provide counsel on a wide variety of issues such as range layouts, types of test and measurement systems, test range automation, difficult measurement tasks and test and measurement errors and accuracy problems. When we introduced the Solutions Center at AMTA last year, our schedule of sessions filled up fast. Our informal meetings encourage creative thinking and discussion that stimulate workable test and measurement solutions."

Senior members of MI Technologies' technical staff available for consultations include Dr. Donald Bodnar, Dr. Doren Hess, Marion Baggett, Jeff Fordham, Donald Weiss, David Smith, Becky Kaffezakis and Scott McBride.

"We're coming to AMTA 2007 with our best engineers, a white board and the time to listen and talk about test and measurement solutions," Fordham said.
