Since 1984, METRATEK has conducted an average of 3 measurement programs per year. Radar measurements are supported with METRATEK's two in-house radar systems. Each is computer controlled, designed to allow accurate calibration, and equipped with a high-speed data collection and recording system. Both radars are modular, so that RF modules can be moved from one radar to the other when necessary. The table below indicates the wide variety of antennas, transmitters, and vehicles that we use to support our customers as well as our own research programs.
