Abstract :
The increasing complexity and stringent performances in RF instruments and payloads testing often demands that the final RF functional verification is performed on the integrated satellite. In order to minimize the cost of future Antenna Integration Verification and Test campaigns (AIV/AIT) it is necessary to investigate and develop advanced test methodologies to minimize the test duration.
