Satellite Payload Near-Field Measurement

Satellite payloads include antennas, sensors, transponders, and other specialized equipment that determine a satellite’s function—such as communication, Earth observation, navigation, or surveillance. Satellites operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), close to Earth for rapid imaging; Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), commonly used for navigation; or Geostationary Orbit (GEO), high above the equator for continuous coverage. These payloads power a wide range of commercial and defense applications, from fast data transfer to advanced imaging and secure communications.

Measuring satellite payloads involves precise testing of key components, such as antennas and communication modules, using advanced near-field testing solutions. This process ensures each payload delivers the high performance required for space operations.

Satellite Payload Near-Field Measurement

Ensuring Satellite Payload Performance with Precision Measurement

Accurately measuring RF subsystems is essential to prevent signal degradation, data loss, and compromised communication links that can impact mission success. Comprehensive testing confirms that antennas, amplifiers, filters, and related components perform within stringent specifications for transmission and reception in orbit.

MVG Planar Near-Field (PNF) systems are designed to meet these requirements—enabling detailed characterization of antenna radiation patterns, precise measurement of transponder parameters, assessment of polarization discrimination and channel isolation, and reliable support for high-power RF scenarios.
