Three dimensional pattern analysis [TV and FM antennas]

MCI has developed a new three dimensional method of analyzing antenna performance. The new program entitled, PANCODE was written as a tool for the evaluation of radiation patterns for both TV and FM, and for both symmetric and nonsymmetric arrays of up to 320 radiators. The analysis gives a full three-dimensional representation of the antenna performance and accurate gain analysis using numerical integration over all space. Conical cuts through the array reference center can be made at any elevation angle
