Summary

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.
