Spherical near field probe array scanner for in-situ measurements of aircraft antennas
Till recently, the testing of installed aircraft radars antennas and radomes required the dismantle of the units from the aircraft in order to measure theirs electromagnetic properties inside a classical anechoic chamber. Such operations were difficult, particularly time consuming and did not fully characterize the antenna within its operational environment. For these reasons, SATIMO has developped an “in situ” spherical near-field test system that could be used for “on board testing of radars” located inside the nose of an aircraft.
