ASTRON-built 2-PAD array under test

Submitter: Jan Geralt Bij de Vaate
Description: As already reported on the AJDI 130509, ASTRON has built one of the three 2-PAD (dual polarized all digital) antenna arrays for the UK-SKADS team. In the photograph the nearly 3x3 meter array is undergoing a thorough test in the antenna measurement chamber of SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited, Edinburgh.

Behind the white cover is an array of low cost polyester foil antennas of the "Vivaldi" type. And, as expected, it does its job rather satifactorily!
