Antenna Radiation Pattern Measurement

In antenna design, true tests and measurements of an antenna before and after integration in its end product provide the most accurate means to validate that antenna performance is optimal. Antenna radiation pattern measurements are key to understanding the angular strength of direction of the radio waves to/from an antenna under test.

Antenna Radiation Pattern Measurement

Being able to visualise antenna radiation patterns as part of your measurement process is vital for the validation and improvement of antenna design and operation. 

MVG technologies facilitate the measurement of radiation patterns in any polarisation (linear or circular), across a range of antennas, from those in smart devices to space-borne antennas.
