This corresponds to two vertical cuts of an apple type pattern which is the typical pattern of a gps patch antenna at cross angles to each other. In any illustration, the sketch drawn to represent the radiation of an antenna is its radiation pattern. If the antenna had a 100% radiation efficiency, all directivity would be converted to gain. Where they intersect we can then take their point readings at 0deg180 deg. A new crpa, composed of seven elements, works on the e5a, e5b, e6, l2, and l1 bandwidths. Fundamental specifications of patch antennas radiation pattern a patch antenna radiates power in certain directions and we say that the antenna has directivity usually expressed in dbi. Typical half wave patches have efficiencies well above 90%. Radiation pattern and gain testing radiation patterns of the antennas xy and yz planes are taken in the device. Cocrosspolar components ratio and the ar versus elevation for a typical gps antenna figure 3.
Radiation patterns of the antennas xy and yz planes are taken in the device. This article reports on radiation pattern measurements of the array in a test facility. Passive patch antenna application note radiation pattern patch antenna s radiation pattern shows that the antenna radiates more power in a certain direction than other directions. For typical patch construction, the 3 db beamwidth is about 65 degrees, or 32. Radiation is the term used to represent the emission or reception of wave front at the antenna, specifying its strength. Co and crosspolar radiation pattern versus elevation of a rover antenna figure 4.
