ASYSOFT

ASYSOFT data acquisition and processing software is a user-friendly environment for the management of various tasks during the antenna measurements. It is a stable, modular platform allowing for full flexibility and optional customisation as required for a particular test setup.

ASYSOFT consists of several modules:

Data acquisition module

Analysis and transformation module

Visualization module

Acquisition Module

The acquisition module provides comprehensive control of the test setup equipment with the support of a friendly and intuitive Graphical User Interface. Data security is preserved by determining user access privileges and the ability of allowing multiple users to access measurement configurations and data files.

Features

Multiple languages supported

Parameter definition (measurement description, RF settings, measurement type and probe type)

Configuration of individual rotary and linear axes for a specific range layout

Selection of scan and increment axes (parameters, scan direction, stepped or continuous mode)

Configuration of different range layouts and connected instruments

Storing configurations and custom settings

Direct RF component set up (multipliers, harmonic mixers, etc.)

Real-time monitoring of acquired data with the ability to pause and save partial data set acquisition

Supports concatenated batch runs

AUT configuration by means of external user defined commands

Control of multi-port and reconfigurable antennas

Supports Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz and Anritsu RF instrumentation

Analysis & Transformation Module

The analysis module forms an integral part of the ASYSOFT software package, allowing the user to analyse acquired data or perform various transformations. The module can be optionally installed on a different platform to allow for concurrent data acquisition and remote based analysis. The optional Near to Far-Field transformation module (planar, cylindrical or spherical) is integrated into the ASYSOFT software package in a modular way. It allows the use of external industry standard routines (SNIFTD and ROSCOE from TICRA) to guarantee the user full traceability during the measurement process.

Modules

General data analysis ASY-ALS

Planar transformation ASY-PNF

Cylindrical transformation ASY-CNF

Spherical transformation ASY-SNF

Features

Antenna pattern extraction

Gain calculation by substitution, two-antenna and three-antenna methods

Sidelobe, 3dB beam width, polarisation axial ratio and tilt angle

File creation and probe calibration for all Near-Field geometries

Sub-gridding correction for on-the-fly data acquisition

Data manipulation (re-arrange axes, merge and split data)

Pattern interpolation using either spherical-wave expansion or Fourier transform

Arbitrary pattern rotation using Euler angles

Far-Field pattern phase translation

Data normalisation and comparison

Data export in various field components and data formats: ASCII, CSV, DIATOOL and custom

Calculation of co-polar and cross-polar linear and circular field components

Visualisation Tool

The graphical representation module (a third party plug-in) is continually updated to match the increasing demands of the ASYSOFT software package throughout the lifecycle of the product and equips the end user with the very latest in data visualisation imagery. The module allows the user to graphically interpret acquired and transformed data.
