RF Reflectors and Structures
Compact ranges are generally used in anechoic chambers for radar and antenna calibration as well as, radar cross sectional work.
BCT has designed, engineered, tooled and manufactured numerous reflectors used in these systems. The surface accuracy of a compact range reflector body is is always around .0005" RMS when delivered.
