As satellites and their payloads become more complex, the means by which the in orbit performance can be verified on the ground also become more complex. This is particularly true for radiating payloads where the satellite itself is a part of a complex system comprising ground, in orbit and ground/sea/air segments. The European Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC) Compact Payload Test Range (CPTR) which was developed to allow RF performance measurements (including electromagnetic compatibility) for payloads including multibeam communications, reconfigurable antennas, phased arrays and synthetic aperture radars, is described.
