AL-4164 and AL-4166 programmable positioner
controllers offer real-time control of positioning
subsystems used in near-fi eld and far-fi eld antenna
measurement systems.
Typically, they may be confi gured to drive planar
scanners and general purpose far-fi eld positioners
that are encoder-based or involve simultaneous
motion.
