Spectrum Research Laboratory Space:
ITS owns and manages five research buildings spaced at the center and along the perimeter of the site to support various use cases and applications. The Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone restrictions ensure that no signal incident on the mesa overpowers any other so the entire radio spectrum is available for study at this location.
Open Field Radio Test Site:
This facilitates studying far-field radiation patterns of antennas, the effect on the radiation pattern of antennas due to mounting on structures such as buildings or vehicles.
Radar Test Range:
This facility provides power and internet for hosting radar systems to support radiated emissions measurements.
Mobile Test Vehicles:
Should existing research buildings be unsuitable for required experiment geometries, there are a number of vehicles available at the mesa. These vary from four-wheel drive trucks to full-feature mobile laboratories to support test systems.
Large Turntable:
This is a 10.4 meter (34 foot) diameter rotatable steel table mounted flush with the ground. Laboratory space located directly underneath the table provides a location for test instrumentation, as well as the control equipment and motors needed to rotate the turntable.
