For Ku-band, you will be required to switch polarization at each of the nine positions. This test lasts about two hours. Our AVT group will measure the transmit sidelobe performance of your antenna. The accuracy of this measurement depends on the accuracy of the jackscrew and slew rate data that you provide. For smaller aperture antennas, we can use a frequency source from the satellite.
Testing takes about half an hour.
Our AVT group will measure the e.i.r.p. and tracking stability of your antenna system. This test will take roughly 12 hours to complete.
