Introducing our cutting-edge Antenna Testing Motion Base Platform, designed to satisfy the highest testing standards for all types of antennas.

Antenna Testing Motion Base Platforms

We spent years designing our Antenna Testing Motion Base Platform to meet the toughest testing standards for all antenna types. It actively simulates a wide range of sea states—from calm waters to turbulent conditions—delivering precise, reliable results in dynamic environments.

Specifically built for maritime but can be useful for other demanding applications, the platform enables comprehensive testing that ensures your antenna systems perform at their best, no matter the conditions.

With high-precision motion control and customizable testing protocols, it empowers research institutions, defense agencies, and commercial enterprises to push the limits of antenna technology. Its rugged construction and advanced features ensure consistent performance and deliver critical data for communication, navigation, and surveillance testing.

Elevate your testing capabilities. Our platform equips you to validate and optimize antenna systems with confidence—ready to take on the complexities of the real world.

Antenna Testing Motion Platforms

At Servos & Simulation, we offer precision-engineered Antenna Testing Motion Platforms designed to meet a wide range of testing requirements.

To begin with, our platforms are available in two advanced configurations:

  • six-axis (6DOF) system
  • seven-axis (7DOF) system, which includes an additional azimuth rotational table for enhanced rotational control

Moreover, both systems are offered in two angularity options:

  • Standard angularity: ±20° for roll and pitch
  • High-angle versions: Expanded range of ±35° or more for pitch and roll

In addition, multiple payload options are available for either configuration, allowing for greater customization based on your specific testing needs.


Versatility Meets Precision

Thanks to their adaptable design, these platforms support comprehensive and precise antenna testing, ensuring your systems perform reliably under varied and demanding conditions.

Furthermore, the flexibility to choose between standard and high-angle configurations enables tailored testing scenarios that align perfectly with your project goals.

  • Tailored for maritime applications and other dynamic settings, it offers all-encompassing testing solutions that guarantee the optimal performance of your antenna systems in any scenario.

  • Harnessing advanced motion control technology and customizable testing protocols, our platform stands as the premier choice for research institutions, defense organizations, and commercial entities dedicated to advancing antenna technology.

Power Requirements

Standard power requirements are 220VAC with other optional voltages available. The motion platforms are completely electric and environmentally green. The smaller bases can be configured to run from a standard 120-volt, 20 amp circuit with the use of a transformer (customer may purchase the transformer, or we can provide it at an additional cost). The mid-size bases (1,000 to 4,000 lbs) require 220 volt, either single phase or three phase, and the largest bases (6,000 lbs and up) requiring from 220 to 440-volt, three phase. We can wire the system per customer-specific electrical requirements.
