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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have been pioneering antenna measurement methods for decades, but a new robot may be the ultimate innovation, extending measurements to higher frequencies while characterizing antennas ...

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 ...

An antenna is an electrical component that is needed to transmit and receive electromagnetic energy from the space surrounding it in order to establish a wireless connection between two or more ...

QuadSAT, a Danish startup that uses drones for the test and measurement of satellite antennas, has scaled up its ambitions: it reports successfully completing a measurement campaign of large antennas ...

The ring down of the antennas is a huge bottleneck in spectroscopic measurements involving relaxation time (T2) measurements. The ring down of the antenna determines the dead time of the spectrometer.

A method of measuring wind velocities by a dual beam modification to conventional (non-Doppler) radars is described. The two beams are disposed slightly to either side of the antenna bore-sight axis.
