Abstract :
The article gives an overview of the research and development activities of the CNET Antenna Laboratory, in La Turbie, France. After a brief introduction to CNET, it describes three main families of software, developed for axisymmetrical antennas and feeds, center- or offset-fed multiple reflector antennas, and arbitrarily shaped radiating structures. A planar-microstrip array, developed in cooperation with the University of Nice, is also discussed. Following a description of the laboratory´s test and measurement facilities, the article concludes with a report on the JINA´92 International Symposium on Antennas.<>
