Introduction

The antenna measurement system provides measurements of (1) S-parameters at 0.8GHz~110GHz, (2) Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and radiation pattern of antenna at 0.8GHz~18GHz(3D) and 50 GHz~67GHz (2D), and (3) Material electrical parameters (Dk, Df, etc) at 0.5~20GHz, 28, 40, and 80GHz.
