Gain Table Patterns

Gain table patterns are defined by a set of gain, off-axis angle pairs. These are indicated by a Table Icon symbol next to the pattern name in the list.

To create a new gain table pattern, click Add Table Icon. A new pattern will be added to the list and the Custom Gain Table Pattern dialog will appear.

At the top of the dialog is a table. You need to fill in this table with pairs of off-axis angle () and gain. You can copy and paste data from other applications - Microsoft Excel for example. The polar and rectangular charts at the bottom show a preview of what the pattern looks like as you enter your data.

The picture below shows an example with all the parameters filled in. This particular example is for a 3.7m Andrew antenna applicable for frequencies between 107 and 12.75 GHz.
