Compact Range
The far-field antenna measurement offers a quick estimation of antenna performance. The traditional far-field concept demands a large separation between transmit and receive side, which is practically impossible for large size of antenna at higher frequencies. The reflector-based compact antenna range offers all the advantages of far-field and simulate a far-field equivalent environment in a very compact indoor test chamber.
Patel Machinery have capability to deliver high planarity (<30 micron RMS) reflectors panels upto size of 7.0 m X 3.0 m to construct the range reflector optics. We are capable to take turnkey project including the engineering, manufacturing and installation of reflectors, multi-axes positioning system, and integrated measurement test setup and data acquisition system software.
