Abstract(s)

An interpolation method to reconstruct the 3-D directive antenna pattern is presented. The proposed method is based on the prior knowledge of the original antenna's principal planes patterns, to which a specific weighting method is applied to obtain an approximate 3-D antenna pattern. The performance of the proposed interpolation method is evaluated against 3-D antenna patterns from three typical directional antennas, extracted from appropriate electromagnetic simulation. Finally, a comparative analysis between the proposed method and current interpolation methods present in the literature is presented.
