Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a reasonable way (in terms of effort and accuracy) to create vertical and horizontal radiation pattern plots for import into Atoll and other planning tools? Meaning .. if all you have is the manufacturers datasheet for a given antenna system (not an electronic pattern file), how can you easily create the pattern file yourself ? Not all manufacturers release the pattern files. Ideally, it would be great to draw the image on a graphing tool and export as magnitude (amplitude) per degree. I would hate to have to manually set 360 data points !
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers..
