Abstract
A system for contactless testing of radio frequency apertures is provided. The system comprises a fixture having a fixture mount operable to be received in a fixture receiver of a robotic system, and a vector network analyzer (“VNA”) supported by the fixture. A radiating antenna is supported by the fixture, and is operable to be connected to the VNA via a cable. Upon movement of the fixture via the robotic system, the VNA, the radiating antenna, and the cable maintain a static positional relationship relative to one another.
