5.1 Radome Measurements
For radome measurements, the R&S QAR measures the characteristics of a DUT
using its full 12 clusters. The data evaluated from the data of 12 clusters provides an
image of the DUT with a high resolution. You can see the resulting image in the user
interface of the R&S
QAR software.
The typical procedure when measuring a radome (DUT) is as follows:
1. Start the R&S QAR to start the system and the measurement application.
For more information about the functionality of the measurement application, see
Chapter 5.1.2, "Graphical User Interface" , on page 39.
2. Normalize the test setup.
For more information about the normalization, see Chapter 5.1.3.1, "Normaliza-
tion" , on page 41.
3. Measure the DUT.
For more information about the measurement and its results, see Chapter 5.1.3,
"Measurements" , on page 41.
4. Save and restore measurement data.
For more information about saving and restoring measurement data, see "Manag-
ing measurement results" on page 48.
5.1.1 Test Setup
Basic test setup
The basic test setup for radome measurements consists of the R&S QAR and a DUT
that is placed at a certain distance from the R&S QAR.
