Abstract :
A compact antenna range is described which uses a plastic foam lens to obtain a collimated beam within which the radiation pattern of a test antenna can be measured. A novel feature is the introduction of a controlled amount of loss into the lens so that a nearly uniform electric field is measured over a high proportion of the lens aperture.
