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 ...

Qualcomm Inc.QCOM recently appealed to the U.S. telecom regulator, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to conduct limited antenna pattern testing of satellite ...

With the completion of its new, state-of-the-art testing facility this summer, Winegard, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative antenna products, will soon establish itself as a ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is expanding its antenna measurement capabilities with a state-of-the-art spherical near-field antenna range. The 1,260-square-foot indoor range, lined with radio ...

This article discusses the GALANT adaptively steered antenna array and receiver and demonstrates the test scenarios generated with the GNSS simulator. Exemplary results of different static and dynamic ...

Satellite operators are using ever more complicated antennas to provide spot beams and increase satellite capacity. Engineers need a way to test these antennas on the ground. The European Space Agency ...

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 ...

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 ...

A very low-tech way to make field recordings. The process I was intending to follow was simple enough. Set up the antenna in the middle of the field, have it transmit some RF, and measure the signal ...

Your wireless product’s end-to-end success dictates that your customers will rely on your antennas to perform well in their system. Most hardware and software is thoughtfully tested before sale or ...

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – U.S. Air Force test and measurement experts needed antenna systems to improve electronic warfare test capability at the Benefield Anechoic Facility at Edwards Air ...

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 ...
