From version 9.2.3 Radio Mobile supports both horizontal- and vertical- plane in antenna patterns where only 180 degrees of the vertical plane is available in the file.

It is advised to use the V3 antenna patterns for better simulation results.

Horizontal plane of the antenna pattern

Vertical plane of the antenna pattern

General description of the file.

The antenna file formatted for V3 has 540 lines.

The first 360 lines describe the horizontal plane of the radiation pattern. Starting at the front beam  from 0 to 359 degrees.

The horizontal plane of the pattern is level. This means that when a antenna has a tilted main lobe (to the ground) and the upper -3 dB side of the main lobe is a 0 degrees, the value at 0 degrees is -3 dB with respect to the maximum gain of the antenna.

The second 180 lines describe the vertical plane of the radiation pattern. Starting at +90 degrees and stopping at -90 degrees. 0 degrees is level. The vertical angle starts at +90 degrees on line 361 and ends at -90 degrees.
