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 ...

Engineers might design a fabulous new wireless device only to fall into the trap of poor antenna design or placement. I've heard stories about designers who place GPS-receiver antennas in metal boxes, ...

No audio available for this content. More satellites, more constellations, more multi-frequency receivers — they all drive greater achievable accuracy. But they also raise the requirements on GNSS ...

How can you get the most out of your FM antenna system? To provide some insight into this subject, three prominent broadcast consulting firms were asked to respond to 15 topics about FM antenna ...

Researchers have been pioneering antenna measurement methods for decades, but a new robot may be the ultimate innovation, extending measurements to higher frequencies while characterizing antennas ...

If you want to analyze an antenna, you can use simulation software or you can build an antenna and make measurements. [All Electroncs Channel] does both and show you how you can do it, too, in the ...

StarLab is a near-field multi-sample system with spherical geometry. Antenna radiation patterns in the far field are obtained indirectly by sampling the field near the antenna. The sampled near field ...

Measuring antenna patterns can be difficult at any frequency--reflections can distort patterns and the antenna position often has to be changed to fully characterize it and the shorter wavelengths at ...
