Category:Antenna Test Facility

The Antenna Test Facility (Bldg. 14 at JSC) is used to test antenna radiation distribution pattern performance for spaceflight applications in electromagnetic environments conditioned to simulate free space. The frequency range of this activity spans from 200 MHz to 40 GHz. The antenna ranges are used to acquire radiation performance data by taking radiation pattern measurements. The Antenna Test Facility has one Anechoic Chamber and an Outdoor Antenna Range. The Anechoic Chamber houses two antenna test facilities: the Far-Field Test Facility and the Near-Field Test Facility.
