Abstract :
The feasibility of operating a compact antenna test range at 35 GHz has been demonstrated. A compact range of simple construction has been shown to have a performance only slightly inferior to the performance at X-band. Diffracted rays from the edges of the source reflector can degrate the purity of the electric field. This has been investigated and sucessfully controlled by serrating the rim of the reflector.
