This document provides an acceptance test procedure for an on-board target update receiver antenna used to receive signals transmitted from a ground antenna. It specifies the antenna's frequency range, VSWR, gain, polarization, and beamwidth. The acceptance test involves measuring the VSWR before, during, and after subjecting the antenna to pre-random vibration, thermal cycling, and post-random vibration to ensure it meets specifications. Tables are provided to record the VSWR measurements at various frequencies during testing.
