A model that predicts the radiation pattern from patch antennas in real installations could take the guesswork out of communication device development. A model that predicts the radiation pattern from ...

If you’ve ever worked at a station that’s installed a new antenna, you’ve probably wondered how well the antenna’s real pattern matched the nice clean pattern supplied by the antenna manufacturer. The ...

A controlled radiated pattern antenna can be an effective way to protect GPS receivers against jamming. A new CRPA, composed of seven elements, works on the E5a, E5b, E6, L2, and L1 bandwidths. This ...

The authors are president and vice president, respectively, of Communications Technologies Inc., a consultancy in Marlton, N.J. Fig. 1: Measured vertical (purple) and horizontal (blue) field strength ...

Measuring antenna gain patterns is a critical part of evaluating the performance characteristics of an antenna under test. A software-defined radio (SDR) is an economical and flexible radio system ...

Radiation patterns for antennas can be utterly confusing, especially when presented in two dimensions, as they usually are. Fear not, [Hunter] has your back with 3D printed and color-coded radiation ...

When [Jephthai] wanted to build his own Yagi antenna, he turned to MMANA software for antenna modeling. This is an antenna analysis program that uses the moment method to calculate parameters for ...

This article was written by Louis Frenzel, author of Principles of Electronic Communications Systems, that addresses this topic and much more. Antennas are much more than simple devices connected to ...

The FCC TVStudy OET-69 software includes the ability to run studies using actual antenna azimuth and elevations patterns, but it wasn’t until release of Version 1.2.8 that there was a way to apply ...
