A systematic approach to quantitatively compare antenna measurements with simulations.
The objective of this paper is to compare antenna simulations to actual measurements using a simulation software tool. This comparison is done using statistical methods in the far field region where the radiation patterns of antennas are plotted on a polar diagram. Actual antenna measurements are ca...
