An equipment design is suggested for antenna testing in short millimeter waveband (SMW), based on amplitude and phase measurements over a plane in the near field of the antenna under test (AUT). Design solutions are offered for units, including the mechanical scanning system, the radio measurement system and the automatic control system. All requirements correspond to the modern technology level. Requirements are developed for the parameters of each unit to attain measurement accuracies comparable to those in similar centimeter waveband antenna measurements. The proposed solutions enable universality of the equipment across different spectral intervals of SMW, hence imply the possibility of reducing antenna testing costs in this frequency range.
