The Anywaves Test Cap (or Test Hat) for S-Band TT&C Antennas is essential to carry out end-to-end testing (parallelism, assembly chain, thermal vacuum..). It features a simple and robust design consisting in a cylindrical aluminium cavity, covered with absorber material and terminated by a RF (Radio Frequency) probe.
It operates over the frequency band of the S-Band TTC antenna. This Test Cap enables reproductible performance measurements of antenna & transceiver on the platform.
It is delivered in a single part that can be directly screwed on top of the antenna, minimizing both the risk to damage the antenna and the manipulation steps.
NB : a Test Cap compatible version of the Anywaves S-Band TT&C antennas is required.
Key Features
- Very low impact on the antenna matching
- No mounting bracket required on the platform
- Safe & easy to mount & dismount
- Compatible with thermal vacuum environment
- Low RF leakage to protect users from radiation during the test
- ITAR Free
