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 ...

A Saturday session of the Broadcast Engineering & IT Conference will explore “Using Drones to Verify FM Antenna Performance.” John Schadler is vice president of engineering for Dielectric LLC, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

Last year the FCC changed its rules to make it significantly easier for FM radio broadcasters to verify their directional patterns. The report and order gives FM and low-power FM applicants using ...

The classic horn antenna undergoes some tough analysis and emerges with improvements that increase the frequency band to 3 GHz. The dual-ridged horn antenna (DRHA) is a workhorse in EMC and antenna ...

In this study, we present our findings from investigating the use of a machine learning (ML) technique to improve the performance of Quasi-Yagi–Uda antennas operating in the n78 band for 5G ...

Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) radio technology has the ability to provide an exceedingly high data rate wireless communication over a short distance. Wireless personal area network (WPAN) based applications ...
