Compact Ranges
MI Technologies’ Compact Range equipment is
designed for accurate, indoor antenna and radar cross section (RCS)
measurements. A compact range allows plane wave illumination,
normally achieved by use of a large distance between the
microwave source and the antenna or target under test, to be
realized in a small space.
A
Compact Range provides freedom and flexibility for your test
schedule because it is unaffected by weather conditions and the
time of day. In addition measurements are not affected by wind
gusts and temperature inversions which can degrade phase and
position data or skew the RF beam. In addition, a Compact Range
housed in an enclosed structure enhances security. Use of a
Compact Range makes an enclosed test facility practical to build
and economical to maintain.
The high performance and broad scope of
frequency range and test article dimensions accommodated by MI
Technologies’ Compact Range Reflectors and Feeds allow for the
construction of the right-sized Compact Range to meet your test
and measurement requirements.
