Millimeter-Wave Range for the Quick Evaluation of Large Reflector Antennas with Complex Feeds.

Abstract

An automated millimeter-wave antenna range capable of measuring primary-feed structure patterns and transferring this data to a mainframe computer for secondary pattern computation is described. Its applicability to the rapid evaluation of complex feed structures as used in a Cassegrain antenna is illustrated. An example of a reflector antenna analysis is compared to a measured pattern. Keywords include: Antenna pattern synthesis; Antenna radiation patterns; Antennas; Automated range; Compact range; and Millimeter wave range.
