摘要
Development work of a 119 GHz compact antenna test range (CATR), based on a 2.4 m x 2.0 m hologram and its application on the Odin telescope tests are described. The hologram element comprises seven parts, which are fabricated using silk-screen printing techniques. Comparison between the theoretical and the measured quiet-zone fields of the hologram CATR is made, which demonstrates the correctness of the analysis method and also the importance of high quality physical joints between the hologram parts. The CATR has been successfully used in the measurement of a 1.1-m offset reflector antenna onboard the Odin spacecraft. The measured and calculated antenna radiation patterns are in good agreement in the main beam region. The effects of the imperfections in the quiet-zone field and in the aperture field of the antenna on the measurement results are simulated.
