Astrium is a world-class supplier of antenna test ranges and market leader for Compensated Compact Ranges. More than 15 facilities have been sold world-wide. These test ranges allow high and long-term measurement accuracy’s and high speed multi-frequency measurements also for large measurement volumes in minimal measurement times. Thus, these test ranges allow end-to-end tests of complete integrated satellites, antenna/sensor testing, transponder testing, real time testing of ADM performances, RF sensor testing, C/I measurements and may also be used for the measurement of scaled down modules of e.g. aircraft’s. Astrium offers turnkey- systems as well as reflector- and feed subsystems with the relevant instrumentation.
