The FCC TVStudy OET-69 software includes the ability to run studies using actual antenna azimuth and elevations patterns, but it wasn’t until release of Version 1.2.8 that there was a way to apply ...

If you’ve ever worked at a station that’s installed a new antenna, you’ve probably wondered how well the antenna’s real pattern matched the nice clean pattern supplied by the antenna manufacturer. The ...

The FCC has released the details of its order allowing FM broadcasters to use computer modeling to verify directional antennas. It also explained why it didn’t adopt several proposals that were in the ...

When [Jephthai] wanted to build his own Yagi antenna, he turned to MMANA software for antenna modeling. This is an antenna analysis program that uses the moment method to calculate parameters for ...
