Antenna Engineering Measurement Facilities and Capabilities

BAE Systems operates a series of indoor and outdoor antenna ranges and chambers. These facilities support research and development, production development, and in-production testing. BAE Systems’ test facilities support programs for antenna and system integration from HF to millimeter wave with direction-finding, RF-signature measurement, and precision antenna gain/pattern capabilities.

Antenna measurement facilities and capabilities include the following:

• A 6-cubic-foot quiet zone, 50-foot-long compact range
• A 6-cubic-foot quiet-zone, 100-foot-long tapered chamber
• An outdoor, far-field, true-free-space range
• A microwave/millimeter wave anechoic chamber
• Six outdoor bubble HF/VHF/UHF/microwave ground-plane ranges (including a 640-foot range)
• A 90-plus-acre RF field test range with 100-foot-high accessible transmit tower
• An RF systems integration and test lab
• A material measurement lab
• A wafer probe measurement lab
• An RF-circuit and test-fixture rapid-prototyping lab
