MI Technologies was selected by the United States Air Force to design and install a complete turn-key test facility for depot maintenance support of the F-16 fighter aircraft. These facilities have been installed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Four complete facilities have been supplied, each consisting of a Series 2020 Antenna Analyzer and a Series 5750 Compact Antenna Range. Two facilities are configured for antenna testing and two for radome testing.

This paper describes the equipment furnished for this program. The hardware is discussed as well as the special software designed to perform specific radome and antenna tests.
