Diamond Engineering - Antenna Measurement Studio - Automated Antenna Measurement Software

NEW! DAMS 6 Antenna Measurement Studio

DAMS 6 – Antenna Measurement Studio is our next generation measurement software. It includes all of the functionality of DAMS 5 wrapped into a modern interface packed with user-friendly features. In addition to collecting full antenna characterization data, it also features broad test equipment support and time-saving automation capabilities. The enhanced data processing capabilities unlock new visualization tools for 2D, 3D, and custom file exports.

See it in action!

Download a copy of DAMS 6 Reader including full example measurements to take a test drive of the new user-friendly experience. The DAMS 6 reader contains most of the functionality of the main software but without instrument or positioner control.
