The MVG-Orbit/FR performance series has recently been expanded to include the AL-458x series of medium-duty, tri-axes positioners. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical AZ/EL/AZ positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity.
Their rugged and straightforward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This series includes a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads.
The new MVG-Orbit/FR compact, low profile light duty positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity in the positioning of light duty antennas under test. Their compact and low-profile design optimizes space in test configurations as well as high operational performance, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio.
DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements
FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.

This unique dual-axis positioner is particularly suited for testing direction-sensing antennas. The virtual elevation axis enables rotation of the DUT around its phase center, placing the mechanical support system invariably behind the DUT. This feature maintains the center of the DUT in one place, while eliminating scattering and interference from the positioning structure.
MVG Performance Series heavy duty AZ/EL/AZ positioners represent the latest generation of multi-axis rotary positioning subsystems with turntable diameters up to 70.9 in (1,800 mm). They offer enhanced capabilities and improved performance relative to size and incorporate new engineering advances.
The EH118 EMC Horn combines stable gain performance and low VSWR with wide band frequency operation. The horn is single linearly polarized with excellent cross-polar discrimination. The unique horn design suppresses any possible excitation of higher order modes in the aperture and maintains a well-defined smooth radiation pattern in the direction of the boresight axis throughout the operational bandwidth.
Cryogenic Temperatures
- Fully isolated experiment space for true 4K temperatures during probing
- Cryogenic positioners to provide large travel ranges without warming up the device
- Integrated helium pot for high temperature stability of the device under test
- Fully dry cryogen-free cooler eliminates the need for expensive helium circulation systems
- Rapid cool liquid nitrogen option for faster cool down times
