Project Timeline: 1-3 weeks
Solo Project: Annie Roo
Project Objective: To design, CAD, and 3D print various antenna holders to undergo various testing scenarios
designed for: Jordan Ashley Ramsey & Mark Lust
REFLECTARRAY FIXTURE
Design, CAD, and 3D Print a fixture to hold stably hold a reflectarray antenna at a specified angle and offset while undergoing testing at the ElectroScience Lab's Anechoic Chamber using a light bulb to provide thermal cycling to a VO2 wafer.
