Historically, testing Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) systems in a laboratory has been a very difficult process — dynamics were limited and test duration was usually short. Often, dynamic ...

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 ...

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 ...

An industry expert offers some suggestions for dealing with the challenges of testing today�s high-frequency antennas. A common solution to EMC/EMI test requirements is the rectangular anechoic ...

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 ...

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 ...

The properties of an amplifier can be tested along the lines of the following sketch. Typically, this technique would be applied to an RF or microwave amplifier, but this technique's additional ...

Antenna design, fabrication, and performance verification are key to the success of both the astrophysics program and the satellite telecommunications program. To support these efforts, a free space ...

At its Aug. 4 meeting, the FCC set deadlines for TV stations to either build out maximized DTV facilities if they elect to stay on their current DTV channel after analog is shut down, or meet minimum ...

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