Figure 8. Radiation Patterns for CW 490 MHz Antenna

Radiation Patterns

Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the

antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns

(Figure 8), are shown using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic above the plots provides

reference to the plane of the column of plots below it. Note: when viewed with typical PDF viewing software,

zooming into radiation patterns is possible to reveal fine detail.
