With the completion of its new, state-of-the-art testing facility this summer, Winegard, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative antenna products, will soon establish itself as a ...

Historically, testing Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) systems in a laboratory has been a very difficult process — dynamics were limited and test duration was usually short. Often, dynamic ...

Measuring antenna gain patterns is a critical part of evaluating the performance characteristics of an antenna under test. A software-defined radio (SDR) is an economical and flexible radio system ...

Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM) today announced it has successfully completed the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) testing for Iridium NEXT satellites. The CATR testing is the simultaneous ...

There are different ways, techniques, and equipment available to test antennas. As with any antenna system, regular testing as a component of an overall maintenance program will ensure maximum ...

This article discusses the GALANT adaptively steered antenna array and receiver and demonstrates the test scenarios generated with the GNSS simulator. Exemplary results of different static and dynamic ...

A very low-tech way to make field recordings. The process I was intending to follow was simple enough. Set up the antenna in the middle of the field, have it transmit some RF, and measure the signal ...

Preventing adversaries from interfering with communications is crucial to national security. Tactical satellite ...

No doubt one of the most revolutionary tools for the RF side of broadcasting was the advent of the network analyzer. Prior to its invention, measuring the response of an antenna system was more or ...

Modern vehicles are filled with newer sensor, telematics , and wireless technologies. More digital and RF technologies being designed into the latest vehicles is an accelerating trend, which is ...

It probably goes without saying, but this isn't your everyday satellite dish. In fact, it's not a satellite dish at all. It's a high-gain antenna (HGA), and a future version of it will send and ...

Many of the projects we link to here at Hackaday have extensive write-ups, pages of all the detail you could need. Sometimes though we happen upon a project with only a terse description to go on, but ...
