Facilities

Compact Test Range

The DLR Compact Test Range is fully equipped to perform antenna radiation measurements and RCS- (Radar Cross Section) characterisation. The facility is operated by the Microwaves and Radar Institute. The core component is a March Microwave Systems B.V. dual cylindrical parabolic reflector configuration. It provides far field conditions for accurate real time measurements.

Mechanical Lab

The mechanical lab is the central manufacturing unit of the Institute, being responsible for the entire chain of design, development, manufacture and documentation of microwave components, instruments and models, also using numerically controlled machines.
