Historically, testing Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) systems in a laboratory has been a very difficult process — dynamics were limited and test duration was usually short. Often, dynamic ...

Measuring antenna gain patterns is a critical part of evaluating the performance characteristics of an antenna under test. A software-defined radio (SDR) is an economical and flexible radio system ...

There are different ways, techniques, and equipment available to test antennas. As with any antenna system, regular testing as a component of an overall maintenance program will ensure maximum ...

Last year, I provided a quick overview of ATSC USB tuners. This month, I'll provide a detailed comparison of three--DViCO's FusionHDTV5 USB Gold, the AutumnWave OnAirGT tuner and the Pinnacle HD Stick ...

There has never been a better time to cut the cord and replace it with free TV. An over-the-air (OTA) antenna is a cheap way to complement or even replace live TV streaming services with events such ...

Getting the best Wi-Fi performance requires strategic antenna positioning, proper router placement, and a bit of trial and ...

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

In RF testing, an essential attribute of every RF signal generator is the maximum output power it can supply to a device under test (DUT) while maintaining spectral purity and level accuracy. The ...

PHOENIX—Single Frequency Network testing of ATSC 3.0 here has proven the efficacy of this multi-site TV transmission scheme in boosting signal level and service margin, significantly improving ...

I recently had a chance to try out a really cool-looking — at least in the opinion of some — antenna for my truck. The brand itself doesn’t matter much as these are all similar in design: flexible ...
