Find out how we use the "substitution method" to accurately measure broadband antenna gain and plot 1D/2D/3D antenna gain radiation patterns.
Measure your distance from the base of the antenna or tower, using a tape measure. Generally, the farther away you are, the more accurate your calculation will be. Measure the angle of your line of sight to the top of the tower relative to the ground. To do this, tie one end of the...
Identify and Measure the Highest Point on the RVScan your roof and locate the tallest item up there. It may be an A/C unit, a vent fan cover, or an antenna. Crouching down and looking along the length of the roof should make it obvious what the tallest item is up there.Using our ...
Some speed test software may measure the WiFi download speed in the unit of MB/s, and will convert the unit into Mbit/s before displaying the test results. If the test results are still displayed in the unit of MB/s, multiply the value by 8 to obtain the actual WiFi speed in th...

inverter’s maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms and circuits. MPPT algorithms are complex, and under-the-sun testing at different temperatures and irradiance conditions is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. The engineers also need to load and measure the output power of the PV ...
The goal is to design transmission lines that can deliver 100% of the power inserted at the beginning of the line to the antenna. To better understand the impact of the mismatch due to a characteristic impedance other than 50 Ω, see the table below. Table 1. Characteristic impedance and...
The objective is to create a delay to let Cext discharge through Rin (not measure so often) giving enough "discharge time" between ADC conversions. The "discharge time" (tC) is equal to the transferred charge from Csh to Cext (charging) and from Cext to Rin (discharging). The ...
For reference, a standard router antenna might stand just a few inches tall and provide around 4 dB of gain, whereas a 10 dB antenna can measure anywhere from 10 to 15 inches in height. If you don’t mind the extra size, installing a high-gain Wi-Fi antenna is an excellent way to ...
Jason-2 carries high-precision instruments to measure the distance between the satellite and the ocean surface to within a few centimeters. These measurements of ocean topography arm scientists with information about how fast ocean currents are moving and how much heat is stored in the ocean. This...
