Microwave Materials Test and Measurement

We can model the Radar Cross Section (RCS) and electromagnetic compatibility of materials and structures. Measurements in our ‘in-house’ RCS range enable verification of code predictions and optimisation of component design.

The services and capabilities available from ATC Towcester and the wider ATC can be brought together in multi-disciplinary teams to address individual client requirements, enabling us to work together to produce the right solution to keep your programme on track.
