Abstract :
In order to improve its capabilities in measuring millimeter-wave antennas, the Institute of Electronic and Telecommunications of Rennes has implemented a Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) in one of its anechoic chamber. This paper describes the main lines of this project, from the technical requirements to the verification of the CATR performances. Measurements of the Quiet Zone (QZ) in V-band are presented to show the performances of this equipment.
