Abstract

A dual-mode optical and RF reflector, and test system using the same. In one example the reflector is a mirror having a reflective surface including a first zone having a first surface precision, wherein a remainder of the reflective surface outside of the first zone has a second surface precision that is substantially lower than the first surface precision, the mirror being configured to collimate and reflect an RF signal from the reflective surface, and to collimate and reflect an optical signal from the first zone.
