Characterizing the RF properties of materials is a significant requirement for many ARA customers from 100 MHz to 100 GHz. These measurements rely heavily on advanced sample holder designs and robust material inversion algorithms.
Often times, materials, antennas, and structures require RF testing in their installed environment. Whether it be a material characterization problem, in-situ antenna performance, or a unique scattering problem, ARA has extensive experience designing custom test fixtures to create in-situ conditions.
ARA develops custom test fixtures, models and simulations, data extraction techniques, and tools to provide critical data improvements in low observability and overall improved RF performance.
