Which CR feed horn do you need?
Suited for Main characteristics
Low Gain Compact range with Lower amplitude
short focal length taper, lower weight,
options for full
octave bandwidth,
higher reflector
edge and wall
illumination, higher
cross-polarization
Medium Gain Standard focal Best overall
length ORBIT/FR performance,
reflectors compliant to the
compact range
catalogue specifications
High Gain Measurement applications Higher amplitude taper,
for antennas smaller lower reflector edge
than the specified quiet and wall illumination,
zone size that require reduced quiet zone size
high accuracy low
sidelobe measurements
