Andrew Anechoic room

This facility was purchased in 1999 thanks to a gift from the Andrew Corporation, Orland Park, IL. The equipment was installed by Orbit FR and it allows for measurements to be taken between 2 GHz and 26.5 GHz. The transmitter and receiver antennas are moved by positioners that are remotely controlled. The antennas are connected to an HP 8510 network analyzer, which in turn, is connected to a PC for automated radiation pattern measurements.
