Overwater Arch
Newport, RI
The Submarine Overwater Antenna Test Facility provides the capability to measure the hemispherical pattern of antennas over a seawater groundplane. This facility consists of a 70ft. radius tripod forming an arch over a seawater pool on the roof of the building. Antennas under test are located at the center of the pool, while a second antenna traverses one leg of the tripod. The antenna under test can be rotated, raised, or lowered. Pattern measurements can be taken over the 100 MHz – 18 GHz range.
