  • Abstract
    Due to severe environmental constraints and the requirement for farfield measurement distances up to several kilometres it is a necessity to utilize in-door testing for modern spacecraft antennas. For this reason a cylindrical near field test facility has been analyzed, defined and implemented. The principle of cylindrical near field testing and the main characteristics of the facility are presented. The facility will be used for the tests of the antenna module of the German direct broadcasting satellite TV-SAT /1/.
