Abstract :
An easy-to-implement procedure for antenna test facility axis check up has been presented. This procedure based on antenna measurements has been validated with measurements performed in the V-band. Tilts on azimuth axis and roll axis have been determined with an uncertainties of 0.05deg. Compensation of these tilts have been applied to determine as well the antenna under test tilt and their comparison to reference values show good results.
