[[NeoScan]] provides a unique and highly superior alternative to the conventional near-field scanning systems. The [[NeoScan]] probes are optical and have absolutely non-metallic compositions. They are extremely small, can get Some of the very close to the surface attractive features of the radiating aperture, and provide ultra-wideband operation. Due to their non-invasive nature, [[NeoScan]] probes can generate ultra-near-field scans of the AUT. These can be used as an invaluable tool for diagnostic purposes. For instance, you can examine the inter-element coupling effects in passive and active phased arrays.are:
*They are optical by nature.
*They provide extremely large bandwidths.
*They have very small footprints.
*They are completely made of dielectric materials and have no metallic parts.
*They are non-invasive and invisible to the radiating antenna.
*They can get very close to the surface of the antenna for diagnostic mapping.
*They can placed farther from the surface of the antenna for faster near-field scanning for far field computation
In short, with [[NeoScan]], you get a compact portable self-contained system that characterizes your antenna system from the very near fields to the very far fields without requiring considerable real estate. [[NeoScan]] is particularly useful for phase characterization and calibration large antenna arrays.
