WEMA3: Far-field Radiation Pattern: Analysis, Visualization, Prediction and Challenges

Presentation Abstract
Antennas and arrays are key to the rapid growth of wireless technologies, with their behavior captured by the far-field radiation pattern. The realized gain integrates port mismatches and losses in the system with the directivity, to present an integrated representation of antenna radiation. We explore techniques for analyzing and visualizing these patterns in 3D and 2D using simulation models and measured data. The problem of using limited data from data sheets for predicting 3D radiation pattern is presented with analytical and AI-based approaches offering up potential solutions.
