UPDATE on Seeking Ideas for RoadTesting Antennas

rscasny
rscasny over 7 years ago

I finally got some information on the antennas that I want to roadtest. These antennas are for Frequency / application :  2.4/5GHz Antenna – typical for Bluetooth, WiFi.

 

Here they are:

    This is going to be difficult to roadtest. Normally, when you design a product, and it's the first time you evaluate antennas for it, you select a couple of antennas that fit the specifications and try…

    I worked on many RF projects, including building an integrated test facility for testing all antennas on aircraft in a huge anechoic facility, so I am not sure what you would have anyone do with just the…

    Well, the key parameters of an antenna are the gain and radiation pattern.

     

    As shabaz said, some specialist gear - and the experience to use it - are required to do a full quantitative analysis.

     

    But I'm sure that there are plenty of people who are not antenna specialists, but familiar with working with radio systems - which, of course, always require antennas!

    I think I would come in that category.

     

    I'm sure such people could do some useful qualitative investigations into coverage/range when using the different antenna types...
