Element pattern measurements on FM antenna
Abstract
Data obtained from measurements of the elevation radiation patterns of five commercial FM radio broadcast antenna elements is reported. Pattern measurements were performed with the elements supported by a dielectric mast and when mounted on a section of triangular tower. Measurements were accomplished for the elevation plane throughout 360 degrees of elevation and at azimuthal angles separated by 45 degrees to fully characterize the effect of the tower on the elevation plane pattern.
