If additional failures are detected in these 2 sample lots, then the full lot will be 100% tested. Test #2: Conductivity Test The Conductivity Test is different from the VSWR Test. It’s a quick Go-No Go test to find out whether the Antenna is dead or alive. The Antenna will be placed flat on a Styrofoam piece, the connector will be plugged to a VNA and the VSWR response will be observed. The antenna will be flexed at different locations while observing the VSWR response. If the response looks smooth & normal (as expected) then it’s a PASS. If there is no response or if it’s Jittery/abnormal then it’s a FAILURE & the Antenna will be rejected.  100% of the Antennas will be subjected to the Conductivity Test
