Abstract
The application of conventional reflector-type-compact antenna test ra nges (CATR's) becomes increasingly difficult above 100 GHz. The main p roblems are the tight surface accuracy requirements for the reflectors and, therefore, the high manufacturing costs. These problems can be o vercome by the use of a hologram type of compact range in which a plan ar hologram structure is used as a collimating element. This idea is d escribed and its performance is studied with theoretical analyses and measurements at 119 GHz.
