Radiation Pattern Measurements of the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) C-Band Feed Horn in the MIT Lincoln Laboratory New Compact Range: Range Validation at 4 GHz

Abstract

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is developing and installing several new feeds and receivers on the expanded very large array (EVLA) antennas in New Mexico. Antenna pattern measurements of the EVLA C-band feed horn in a new compact range reflector system at MIT Lincoln Laboratory are described in this report. Measured and calculated antenna radiation patterns of the EVLA C-band feed at 4 GHz are in good agreement.
