  • Page 20 ® Machine Overview R&S ATS1000 The upper interlock (1, see also Figure 4-6) controls the door locking mechanism. You cannot lock the door while it is still open. Therefore, close the door and push the [LOCK / UNLOCK] button to operate the door locking mechanism. The twin polymeric gasket (2) has a conductive nickel coating to prevent RF radiation entering and leaving the chamber.
  • Page 21 ® Machine Overview R&S ATS1000 chamber is configured at the factory. Feedthroughs must, therefore, always be installed by the manufacturer only. If you want to exchange or add feedthroughs, contact Rohde & Schwarz service or your sales representative. The available feedthrough types are described in the Configuration Manual.
  • Page 22 ® Machine Overview R&S ATS1000 Feedthrough [A111] (left in Figure 4-4) is exclusively reserved for the two RF cables of the test antenna. As these cables are (and must be) fed through the rotational axis of the positioner arm, no other feedthrough can be mounted at position [A111]. Openings that are not used by optional RF-filtered feedthroughs are covered with metal blanking plates.
