Abstract

In the frame of the activity ldquoantenna measurement techniques and facility sharingrdquo of the EU network ACE ldquoAntenna Centre of Excellencerdquo substantial attention has been devoted to perform a series of antenna measurement facility comparisons. The activities have been performed using SATIMO dual ridge horns in L, S and C band (SH800) and in Ku and Ka band (SH2000). This paper discuss the activities and preliminary results of the comparison campaign in Ku and Ka band using the SATIMO dual ridge 2-32 GHz horn (SH2000) shown in fig. 1. The activities include data collected from both ACE and non ACE participants in Europe and US during a 3 year period.
