Abstract
A new multi-frequency Validation Standard (VAST)
antenna covering upper microwave (K/Ka) and
millimeter wave (Q/V) bands, and thus called mmVAST,
was developed in cooperation between DTU and
TICRA under contract from the European Space
Agency. In this paper, the mechanical and electrical
requirements as well as the design and manufacturing of
the mm-VAST antenna are briefly presented. The focus
is then given to the details of conducted mechanical and
electrical tests aimed at verifying the performance of the
manufactured antenna and to the obtained measurement
results.
