UPDATE on Seeking Ideas for RoadTesting Antennas

rscasny

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 definitely sounds interesting, for those without the "right" gear, one idea would be to use something like SmartRF from TI that allows for some of these variables to be altered and monitored. Then by measuring something like RSSI or BER depending on positioning of the units some inference of antenna pattern or gain gould be made. All this being said, you would still need a consistent preferably quite environment... anyone up for a drive to the country ??

     

    The same could be done using a spectrum analyzer in a quiet environment to get an idea of antenna pattern. Alternatively the road test could include a decent amount of RF absorbing foam for the roadtester to build their own chamber.... they could then report back on how easy/hard this was and how well or not it worked out. image
