Antenna test facilities at ESTEC
Abstract
The layout, instrumentation, and data processing of the ESTEC antenna test range is described. Special problems were encountered in establishing the range in a terrain with high ground reflectivity. Scheduling problems due to the weather encouraged the development of numerical methods for antenna design. Preliminary results of this development are shown.
