AIR-ANT2568VG-N .ant file - Radiation Pattern

Elohim

Level 1

Does anyone have an .ant file for the Cisco AIR-ANT2568VG-N antenna?
It is for an RF Planning tool.

Thanks Marce, unfortunately that was the type of answer I was trying to avoid.

 

The .ant file is a particular file to create a 3D model of the radiation pattern of an antenna using 720 lines of information for degrees and power based on the 2D radiation patterns in your link.

 

I have resorted to creating the file myself. Below is the raw data for the 2.4GHz propagation, that can be copied to a text file and then saved as an '.ant' extension.

Thanks Elohim,

I have used your 2.4GHz ANT data file in my RF Planning tool, however need one for the 5GHz pattern.

Have you created one for 5GHz ?

I will have a go at creating my own if not.

Have tried Cloud-RF without success.

Anyone else got a 5GHz ANT file for this antenna ??

Hey Dave, which RF planning tool are you using? 

 

Ekahau includes the antenna pattern for this antenna in both frequency bands. They store it as *.json file and include the dBi value for every 5 degrees. So instead of 720 data points they have around 140.
