For those who dislike, or are incapable of, theoretical analysis, how do
they first create, and then measure, the output from an isotropic radiator?


Easy. You build one and measure it:

It's not perfect for all polarizations, but it's close. The problem
is you have to put the transmitter inside the antenna or the
connecting coax cable will wreck the pattern. Oh wait... you don't
like theoretical analysis. Never mind.
