Test Cap for GNSS All-Bands Antennas

Introducing Anywaves’ Test Cap (also called "Test Hat") for GNSS All-Bands Antennas – the essential tool for reproducible measurements of your navigation antenna and GNSS receiver on your satellite platform.

Our single-part design makes it easy to use and effective, maintaining a low impact on the antenna. The test cap enables reproducible measurements of the antenna and transceiver on the platform. You will perform better end to end tests, securing your performance and saving time and money avoiding complex tests in anechoic chambers.

This Ground Segment Equipment consists of a cylindrical aluminium cavity terminated by a RF probe. Its single part design eliminates the need for a mounting bracket. It easily screws directly on top of the antenna. The test cap is compatible with thermal vacuum environments with low outgassing properties. The plug-and-play for an end to end RF (Radio Frequency) system measurements and low radio frequency leakage ensures safe and efficient testing. With highly reproductible measurement, you will demonstrate your complete radio frequency chain performance for better reliability of your satellite and increase your customer satisfaction!
