CUSHCRAFT ANECHOIC CHAMBER
As part of our continuing efforts to enhance our capabilities and service to customers, Cushcraft has implemented a state of the art antenna test and measurement system.

Our test and measurement system features a 41 ft long x 20 ft wide x 12 ft high tapered anechoic chamber and an automated data acquisition system, Flam and Russell Digital Pattern Recorder model 944. The chamber is currently instrumented to provide complete VHF through X-band frequency coverage. The anechoic chamber allows full characterization of antenna amplitude (pattern and gain), phase and phase center performance.

As the engineering staff designs and develops new products, the anechoic chamber is used to fully characterize antenna performance. This step in our design process ensures that our antennas meet or exceed customer requirements. Using the Flam and Russell automated data acquisition system, our engineers are able to accurately analyze pattern characteristics and keep a digital copy of the results for use in our literature or for distribution to our customers.
