About

Keysight’s F9650A Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) is a high-performance, over-the-air (OTA) test solution designed for accurate calibration and characterization of satellite and ground system antennas. Operating across millimeter-wave frequencies (6–110 GHz), the CATR chamber supports both in-band and spurious testing, making it ideal for validating antenna performance in space and terrestrial communication systems. Its rolled-edge parabolic reflector and dual-polarized feed horn ensure a stable quiet zone for precise measurements, while optional extreme temperature testing simulates harsh environmental conditions.

The system integrates seamlessly with Keysight’s signal sources, spectrum analyzers, and antenna measurement toolsets to deliver fast gain and phase calibration, pattern measurements, and beamforming validation. Whether testing phased arrays or single-element antennas, the F9650A supports spherical pattern analysis, polarization metrics, and regulatory compliance workflows. Its modular architecture and automation-ready software make it a scalable solution for R&D, production, and certification environments—accelerating antenna development and ensuring mission-critical reliability.
