Abstract
The author describes the various receiver configurations that are used in the QMW millimetre wave compact antenna test range to measure antennas in the frequency range 90-200 GHz. The millimetre wave compact antenna test range (mmCATR) at QMW is a single offset reflector constructed from 18 reflector panels of a design identical to those used in the James Clerk Maxwell radio telescope. The panels, with an RMS surface accuracy of between 10 μm and 16 μm, form a single offset CATR with focal length of 5.4 m and a reflector aperture that can contain a 3 m diameter circle. The range is enclosed by an anechoic chamber with a separate anti-chamber containing the transmit feed
