Compact antenna test range implementation in IETR millimetre wave antenna test facility

Abstract

A Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) has been implemented in the millimeter wave antenna test facility of the Institute of Electronic and Telecommunications of Rennes in order to improve its measurements capabilities. This paper describes the main lines of this project, from the technical requirements to the verification of the CATR capabilities. Measurements of the Quiet Zone (QZ) in V-band are presented to show the performance of this equipment.
