Abstract: We present estimates for some characteristics of a new compact antenna range for the experimental improvement and performance of tests of antennas of microwave range. The method of wave optics in view of the theory of Frenel's diffraction was used to determine one of the main parameters of compact antenna measurement range, namely, the distance between a collimation mirror and tested antenna.
