ADD NEW ANTENNA PATTERN

In TowerCoverage.com, we have a list of antenna files that we have added for you to select from. All pattern files that are in the drop down list have been provided by the manufacturer of the given antenna for accuracy and have not been modified by our developers. If you do not see the antenna that you wish to use in the list you are able to add your own antenna as well. We do suggest that you obtain these directly from the manufacturer as well to ensure that you do not get inaccuracies in you coverages.

This feature can be found by going to Account>>Antenna Patterns.

When the files are uploaded, the system will verify that it is a valid file. The file used should be a Radio Mobile Compatible .ant file. We have also added a downloadable file that will allow you to ensure the files are in the correct format or forward to the manufacturer to create the file for you.

TowerCoverage.com system will check the files for the follow criteria to ensure the file is a valid file.:

• The file should contain 720 rows of data.

• Line 1 and line 451 should match. This is the gain at azimuth degree 0 and elevation angle of 0.

• Line 181 and Line 631 should match. This is the gain at azimuth degree of 180 and the elevation angle of -180.

• Beamwidth Filter must be valid. (numerical value only). See the Beamwidth section for more information.
  
  
  
  All antenna patterns that you upload are specific to your account only. If you have multiple accounts, you will need to add it to each of your accounts to be able to access the antenna pattern.
