I'm comparing elevation plots of an antenna. They have different
forward gains, this makes it difficult to compare the lobe shape.

Is there a way to equalize the gains to do a comparison?


Example: I have an antenna that is -19dbi and one that is -23dbi.
Can I add 4db of gain to one to make the comparison easier?
Mike

I am wondering what type of antenna has -19 or -23 dBi gain. I would
speculate that they are quite omnidirectional, and the patterns wouldn't
be significantly different.

It's tough to get gain that low unintentionally. If they are
commercial, could you please point me at a web site? I'd love to see
why they made these.

Under 'Desc Options', under '2D Misc', under 'Outer Ring',
you can set the gain of the outer ring to -19 dBi for
both antennas.

but 0dBi would be perfectly omnidirectional by definition. either he is
reading the scale wrong or is looking at f/b ratio instead of gain, or maybe
looking at depth of a null or sidelobes.

I guess I don't understand what you are wanting
to do. Is -19 dBi and -23 dBi the maximum gain
for each respective antenna? Or is that just some
point you want the radiation patterns to have in
common?

I doubt you can do that within EZNEC. It will probably
require generating two graphics and superposing them -
which you can accomplish by changing the reference gain
of the outer ring in EZNEC and using, e.g. MS Paint
for the superposition.

Kinda thought so! got copy of THAT loop antenna-
Lots of loss, but abt 28 dB F-B ratio (great for
eliminateing stations off the back, and , as stated
very broadband! And the model at 12 mhz, did to
1.8 MHz , also 28 MHz- swr is flat (20:1)!, but
the directivity is seems to be flat,too. An
interesting antenna. Tks to Bill W5WVO for the
model! But the
4 db diff (on the angles of "radiation", probably
mean little on a change of pattern.maybe 2-3
degrees! (3dB points)! Definately NOT for trying
to xmit to! But with a 20 dB preamp looks like a
great recieve antenna! Jim NN7K

Try this (with Eznec 5)

Step 1 Open (or write) your file.
Step 2 Do farfield plot , then save
this file as (Tracefile (.pdf,pdf3)
You need to name this file!.

Step 3 Do the SAME steps for Antenna #2 (and
3,4,5, ect) be sure to use diff names!

Now, Step 4,go to (view, traceview), and this

will give a warning.Run , under the "traceview
window, the FIRST FILE you named.

Step 5 Now , click on "Add trace". insert the name of
the SECOND file you saved ( Warning- both must be in
SAME direction, AZMATH, or ELEVATION for this to
overlay) , and both ants pointing the SAME WAY!

Step 6 either print it, or add another file .
Think you find this works pretty well .
NOTE: this DOESN'T set yhe max gain to BOTH
antennas, but is great for comparison purposes.
Think its pg 93 in the pdf manual (not to be confused
with 93 on the adobe screen!

If Fractus is the Fractal antenna business then it is still doing
well.
That was another antenna that amateurs tried to remove from the
face of the earth because it provided a new aproach to antennas.
Seems like professionals in the antenna industry are not made
from the same mold as the self styled amateur experts that
deride the new from their couch as they slowly pass away.

My point is that it is not "gone and long forgotten" despite
the venom from you and Roy in you attempts to devalue the idea.
Here we are twenty years on and the antenna survives as a
new technology. Just shows that you can't stop science when
the shrill of your voices runs out of puff. Fractal antennas
are now in the books signifying that the efforts of you and Roy
was all for naught and could not overcome the test of time.
Now your efforts are concentrated anew where again you will fail
despite the shrillness of your wailing. Ideas are for the books
and your venom doesn't count for inclusion.

Hi Arthur,

Unfortunately you don't understand the technology, so you lack the
authority to make this anything more than a sentimental statement.

My website contains more than 300 pages of results from real Fractal
antennas and it remains the largest website in the world devoted to
that topic alone. It even supports examples of fractal designs that
you couldn't beat.

Care to compare examples? Mine will be far more length efficient than
anything you could offer. They will be non-planar. They will offer a
better turning radius than yours.

No, comparison would quickly reveal all this and thus I will leave you
with the last gasping denial. ;-)

this file as (Tracefile (.pdf,pdf3)
You need to name this file!.

Step 3 Do the SAME steps for Antenna #2 (and 3,4,5, ect) be sure to use
diff names!

Now, Step 4,go to (view, traceview), and this

will give a warning.Run , under the "traceview window, the FIRST FILE you
named.

Step 5 Now , click on "Add trace". insert the name of
the SECOND file you saved ( Warning- both must be in
SAME direction, AZMATH, or ELEVATION for this to overlay) , and both ants
pointing the SAME WAY!

Step 6 either print it, or add another file .
Think you find this works pretty well .
NOTE: this DOESN'T set the max gain to BOTH
antennas, but is great for comparison purposes.


Ok, thanks Jim, I have done this and add a trace does just
that, but as you say,
"this DOESN'T set the max gain to BOTH antennas"
I want to equalize the max gain, So it looks like the copy to
Paint and compare there is the best solution so far.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Arthur,

Unfortunately you don't understand the technology, so you lack the
authority to make this anything more than a sentimental statement.

My website contains more than 300 pages of results from real Fractal
antennas and it remains the largest website in the world devoted to
that topic alone. It even supports examples of fractal designs that
you couldn't beat.

Care to compare examples? Mine will be far more length efficient than
anything you could offer. They will be non-planar. They will offer a
better turning radius than yours.

No, comparison would quickly reveal all this and thus I will leave you
with the last gasping denial. ;-)

Do you think I didn't realise what direction you was heading?
Look at mine not at his!
I remember after you did that work you turned on Chip and
everything he had to say. Heck it then got worse when the
group found out that he was jewish. That was mana for the
group and finally got the job done to get rid of him.
No matter how much shame you feel that will be part of
you forever. Can you remember the last time you said
something nice? That should take a week or so to think about.
You are such a miserable person, always pushing good aside
for the benefit of evil.If your page is the only thing
you can point to as to what you have achieved in the
last twenty years you are indeed in a sorry state.

Hey you two, stop it,
this is my thread about EZNEC modeling and Flag antennas. :-)

Noted and understood. Its national 'flag" day is it not?
With respect to EZNEC. MANA is much more ambedextrous than
Eznec. It does provide all the old stuff that eznec does
but it also supplies what is new from the last decade.
When you model using optimisation where the program
predetermines direction to take it opens up a whole
new world with respect to antenna design.
Ofcourse even optimisation is not new to antennas
which is why the program is offered for free to
amateurs. There is also a newsgroup based on MANA
so there is no need to search the amateur newsgroups
for the author to report bugs.
I don't think eznec can match it in any way, even
with the allowable number of segments used let
alone the number of variables available. If you
want to design an antenna that is in equilibrium
so that focussed radiation is denied it is just
one type of antenna design that cannot be met
using eznec. A lot of time has passed by since
eznec came on the scene as well as many changes
and additions with respect to antenna programs
so why impede your antenna learning by using
old technology? It certainly cannot be the cost.
