Design & Consulting
The experienced team at The Howland Company offers professional design and consulting services to clients across the U.S. and worldwide. Serving the aerospace, defense, and commercial industries, our expertise includes antenna range design, radar cross-section facility design, electromagnetic shielding design, and more.

Antenna Range Design
The Howland Company has been involved in antenna range design since the company was founded. We have the experience to assist in the design and layout of outdoor ranges, indoor ranges (anechoic chambers), and compact ranges.

Radar Cross-Section (RCS) Facilities
The Howland Company has been involved in the design and evaluation of radar cross-section measurement facilities since the early 1980s. We have pioneered different chamber and anechoic material configurations to reduce the background level of reflected signals.

Compact Range RCS Measurement Facilities
Very large compact range reflectors were built to increase the quiet zone size and extend the lowest frequency of operation. At the same time, the edges of the reflector were redesigned to reduce the diffraction effects from the edge. When it was found that the anechoic material in the chamber was the limiting factor, The Howland Company was tasked with providing the overall electromagnetic design and improved designs for the anechoic material’s layout.

RF/Antenna Test Facilities
With the capabilities to design testing facilities of any size and scope, including ISTFs, we will evaluate your needs and specifications in order to recommend the appropriate test method for your facility. Then, we can design the physical parameters of the antenna range to meet the specific test requirements.


Electromagnetic Shielding & ICD 705 Facilities
We can assist in the design of electromagnetic shielding and ICD 705 facilities. Such facilities present an electromagnetic barrier to the outside world in order to protect sensitive information inside the facility or to keep outside sources of radiation from affecting measurements made within the facility.
