Antennas are a key factor in determining the overall performance of a wireless system. But antennas come in a near-infinite range of shapes, sizes, and complexities. Depending on the use case of a given wireless system, the antennas must be meticulously tailored to meet desired design parameters. That tailoring process begins in antenna design and is carried through in characterization:
Antenna radiation patterns run the gamut from isotropic Wi-Fi nodes to pencil-beam radio telescopes. What are the beam characteristics of a given antenna, and do they match my application’s requirements?
Does this antenna fit my system’s spectrum coexistence demands?
Will the antenna do its job properly in widely varying propagation environments?
What are the antenna’s near-field measurements and how do they translate to far-field patterns?
In this webinar panel, we'll talk to some leaders in the test and measurement space about some of the challenges and solutions for this topic.
