Antenna datasheets typically have one thing in common - Incomplete performance information!
While this serves to protect the valuable IP of the antenna manufacturer, it leaves the system design engineer unable to easily evaluate the performance of any given antenna in a placement study or similar. The datasheet is usually the only source of information and contains information such as input impedance, VSWR and gain values or graphs and or radiation pattern cuts at certain frequencies. Generally, the type of radiating structure is not even mentioned, with only minor hints provided by the shape of the radome.
This attached Best Practices document demonstrates how Antenna Magus can be used to take available information from a datasheet to find a surrogate antenna with similar performance characteristics. After the antenna has been designed in Antenna Magus, it may be exported to CST Studio Suite for further adjustments, before export to the Antenna Placement App on the 3DExperience Platform.
