Northrop Grumman Space Technology Engineering, 2004-05

Liaison(s): Larry Yujiri, Erin Englert
Advisor(s): Ruye Wang
Students(s): Jack F. Shepherd III (TL), Benjamin Howard (S), Eddie Huang, Steve Lin (F), Joshua Webb

The main goal of the project is to analyze millimeter wave imaging lenses delivered by Northrop Grumman Space Technologies (NGST). This analysis will focus on capturing the point spread function (PSF) of the lenses using radiation around 89GHz. Furthermore, the team is tasked with designing and implementing the automation for this lens characterization process.
