Abstract :
This document presents two measurement systems for testing the new large radar array antennas developed by the Spanish company INDRA Sistemas. The first one is a linear measurement system for testing the array rows. The second one is an outdoor cylindrical near field facility for the complete array test. Different techniques and improvements applied to them are reviewed and results are shown.
