Objectives: The tender aims to develop and verify an antenna gain extrapolation technique utilizing the spherical wave expansion theory. This initiative addresses the strict requirements for reducing uncertainty in antenna gain for improved performance in space applications. The approach focuses on refining the gain standard characterization through methods such as phase center positioning, near field measurements, and considering atmospheric attenuation effects, particularly above 110 GHz. This development expects to enhance antenna design efficiency and performance metrics for space-related systems, from P band to mm-wave frequencies, by establishing reliable uncertainty budgets.
