  • Patent number: 6037782
    Abstract: Equipment under test is adjusted during set-up for electromagnetic compatibility testing. The equipment under test is placed on a base, such as a table, other structure or the ground. Positioners are connected to cables and/or subparts of the equipment under test. For example, the positioners are non-metallic pneumatic cylinders. The positioners are anchored to the base, to the device under test, or to some other structure. For various positions of an antenna relative to the equipment under test, positions of the positioners are found for which there is a maximum signal response. This is done by measuring signal response for current positions of the positioners. The current positions of the positioners are then varied using a remote control unit which controls positions of the positioners. This is repeated for as many different positions as desired. The positions which resulted in the maximum signal response is utilized for the electromagnetic compatibility testing.
