In order to improve its capabilities in measuring millimeter-wave antennas, the Institute of Electronic and Telecommunications of Rennes has implemented a Compact Antenna Test Range ( CATR) in one of its anechoic chamber. This paper describes the main lines of this project, from the technical requirements to the verification of the CATR performances. Measurements of the Quiet Zone ( QZ) in V-band are presented to show the performances of this equipment.
