Rolled Edge Reflector

A rolled edge reflector is a specialized CATR reflector design with curved edges that helps control unwanted reflections and diffraction during antenna measurements.

Compact range reflectors are used for antenna testing, including radiation pattern measurements, gain measurements, and other RF and microwave antenna characterization applications.

DMC RF offers rolled edge CATR reflectors ranging from 30 cm × 30 cm up to 3.6 m × 3.6 m, depending on the testing requirements.

The quiet zone is the area where the reflector creates a controlled electromagnetic field suitable for accurate antenna measurements. The available reflector design can provide a quiet zone of up to 1.8 metres.

The reflectors are manufactured using precision-milled aluminum panels, with an aluminum frame designed to provide thermal symmetry and structural stability.

High surface accuracy helps maintain the quality of the reflected electromagnetic wave, which is particularly important for high-frequency antenna testing and achieving accurate measurement results.

Compact range reflectors can be used to test various antennas, including high-frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, satellite, radar, and communication antennas, depending on the test range configuration.

A CATR can simulate far-field testing conditions within a smaller indoor space, helping reduce the physical distance required compared with a conventional far-field antenna test range.

Yes. Compact range reflector systems can be selected or configured based on factors such as reflector size, quiet-zone requirements, operating frequency, antenna size, and overall antenna testing requirements.
