Abstract
A testing system includes an antenna assembly having a directional antenna, the alignment of which can be adjusted with respect to a device under test. The directional antenna includes a horn having a housing having a side piece with an opening. A reflecting surface is movable through the opening from a first position away from a beam axis of the directional antenna to a second position along the beam axis. A light source is configured to transmit a light beam to be incident on the reflecting surface. The light beam reflects at the reflecting surface to project along the beam axis to the device under test. A mounting stage coupled to the directional antenna can be adjusted to align the directional antenna by placing the light beam at a desired location of the device under test.
