Objectives

The main objectives of the project consist of developing new solutions in terms of test techniques, instrumentation and methods in order to overcome the three critical difficulties facing the space industry for the testing of multi-beam antennas:

  • Reducing the duration of the tests,
  • Testing very large antennas payloads and satellite platforms,
  • Testing end-to-end configurations close to real operational conditions.

The validation of the new solutions will be performed at breadboard level.
