Abstract
For testing high performance satellite reflector antenna, a new 3.1 meters by 3.1 meter Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) was designed, fabricated and installed in Taiwan. The range clutter levels are lower than -40dBc from X-band to Ka-band. High precision positioning system and software is shown to test a multiband and multi-beam reflector antenna.
