Product Overview

The TDK RF Solutions MVM Manual Vertical Mast is designed for mounting antennas in EMC test environments. The TDK mast provides complete manual control of an antenna’s height, tilt, and polarization, and supports antennas up to 18 kg in weight. The MVM is constructed of high-quality, non-conductive materials to withstand the rigors of daily use in both EMI and EMS testing.

Complete Positioning Control The Manual Vertical Mast’s mounting arm adjusts from 97.5 cm to 172 cm and supports both small and large antennas on industry-standard mounting adapters. The mast’s positioning gimbal allows manual control of antenna tilt to ± 10° and provides full 360° rotation of the antenna with indexing at 0° and 90° for quick and easy polarization changes. A locking pin secures the mounting arm in position.

High-Quality Construction The mast, base, and mounting arm are constructed of heavy-duty square fiberglass tubing with a protective water seal. The mast features four locking swivel casters for safety and ease of movement. The vertical mast can be easily disassembled for storage or transportation between test sites. The MVM is available in several models to meet your testing requirements.

MVM-200R The MVM-200R adjusts from 1 m to 2 m in height. (Also available in a heavy duty version to support larger antennas.)

MVM-300R The MVM-300R adjusts from 1 m to 3 m in height. (Also available in a heavy duty version to support larger antennas.)
