Compact Antenna Test Range Reflectors

NSI offers a line of Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) reflectors for use in far-field antenna test systems. These reflectors use an optimized blended rolled-edge reflector termination resulting in minimum level of diffraction. The single piece construction used on many of the reflectors removes issues associated with panelized reflectors. The ultra-lightweight graphite-epoxy-honeycomb composite design provides an extremely rigid and stable system with low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) and very high flexure strength.

The rolled edge reflector is a graphite-epoxy composite design using aerospace-grade materials It includes a precision tooling steel frame structure support. The system includes broadband / wide beamwidth feeds covering 2-18 & 18-40 GHz. The reflector surface tolerance can support measurement up to 110 GHz.

 

Features:
Feed frequency range from 2 to 40 GHz
Reflector surface quality good for operation up to 110 GHz
Includes mounting support
Cross polarization (typical) < -30 dB
