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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers continue to develop new antenna measurement methods, this time for future 5G wireless communications systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ...

In the United States and many parts of the world, antennas are calibrated per the American National Standards Institute C63.5: American National Standard for Electromagnetic Compatibility—Radiated ...
