Benefits
of an
NSI RF System |
1. |
Custom
System Configuration: NSI
provides custom RF system configurations to meet a
wide range of test needs. NSI will work with Agilent
and other suppliers to provide the best system solution
to meet your antenna measurement requirements. An NSI
RF system reduces your costs and risks involved in
trying to configure individual instruments, components,
cables and software to operate as a system. NSI has
the application knowledge and expertise to insure system
compatibility with microwave instruments, software,
positioners, optics, antennas and probes.
|
| 2. |
Factory
Integration and Test: NSI will integrate and
test the system at the factory and ensure that the system
functions properly. Since the system is configured and
tested at the factory, the site installation process
is efficient and timely.
|
| 3. |
Factory
Verification: When an RF system is purchased
from NSI, the complete system is tested at the factory
in Torrance, CA to ensure it meets system specifications.
If a near-field or far-field system is part of the purchase,
the RF system can also be verified at the factory with
the appropriate software and positioner equipment.
|
| 4. |
On-site
Installation [Optional]: NSI can install the
RF system at the customer's site. The customer is responsible
for site preparation, facility power, cooling, etc. NSI
can work with you to develop a System Configuration Plan
prior to installation.
|
| 5. |
On-site
Verification [Optional]: NSI can verify that
the system meets its specifications after installation
at the customer site.
|
| 6. |
On-site
Training [Optional]: Training can be performed
by an NSI engineer who is familiar with the antenna measurement
system.
|
| 7. |
System
Warranty and Service: The system includes a
two year warranty if all RF components are purchased from
NSI. NSI will repair or replace products that become defective
under normal use within the one-year warranty period. Extended
warranty and service programs are available upon request.
The
warranty on Agilent equipment purchased through NSI starts
when the equipment arrives at the customer's site. If
purchased directly from Agilent, it also starts when
the equipment arrives at the customer's site, but that
could be months before the system installation. When NSI
buys the PNA and uses it at NSI for integration prior to
shipping, that time does not shorten the customer's
warranty period; in fact it could provide several months
of extra warranty.
|
| 8. |
Documentation: Each
antenna measurement system includes a System Operating
and Service Manual. Manuals for the individual microwave
instruments and components will be provided from the original
equipment supplier.
|
| 9. |
Delivery: NSI's
RF systems are designed, assembled and testing using standard
engineering and production processes based on NSI's ISO
9001 quality system. NSI will coordinate sales, engineering,
production, test, and installation personnel to assure
timely delivery of the complete system.
|
| 10. |
Calibration: Calibration
of Agilent instruments can be obtained directly from your
local Agilent office. NSI offers a Panther RF system calibration,
which includes receiver amplitude and phase linearity
and NSI source calibration. Contact NSI for
additional information.
