Conducted Tests

Test #1: Attenuator Test

Set-up

Conclusion

The purpose of this test is to ensure that our attenuators could attenuate with an error no more than ±0.34 + 2% dB

This corresponds to ER.1 and ER.2

Test #2: Phase Shifter Test

Set-up

Conclusion

The purpose of this test is to ensure that our phase shifters could shift to a desired phase with an accuracy of ±2.1°

This corresponds to ER.1 and ER.2

Test #3: Array Pattern Change

Set-up

The purpose of this test is to ensure that we could use two attenuators and phase shifters to make at least two visibly different beam patterns

This corresponds to ER.1, ER.2 and ER.3

Test #4: Controller Test

The purpose of this test is to ensure that we could successfully program the PIC18 to step through the code fully and produce the correct beam patterns based on input voltage. 

This corresponds to ER.2 and ER.3
