Efficient and Fast Results Assessment During Telecom Satellite Antenna Test Campaigns

Final acceptance test at satellite level includes testing of all antennas patterns and in a very short period of time (usually a few days). Patterns have to be measured and results analysed in real time in order to assess quality of these patterns once satellite is ready for flight. In the present paper are described test data organisation and acceptance criteria based on cross- correlation which enable fast assessment of test results.
