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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

QuadSAT, a Danish startup that uses drones for the test and measurement of satellite antennas, has scaled up its ambitions: it reports successfully completing a measurement campaign of large antennas ...

An overview of antenna design considerations is presented. The design considerations include system requirements, antenna selection, antenna placement, antenna element design/simulation, and antenna ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pioneering antenna measurement methods for decades, but a new robot may be the ultimate innovation, extending measurements to higher ...

The ring down of the antennas is a huge bottleneck in spectroscopic measurements involving relaxation time (T2) measurements. The ring down of the antenna determines the dead time of the spectrometer.
