There is a great deal of confusion when engineers, technicians, and equipment salespersons talk about units of antenna gain and field strength. This FAQ discusses units of gain and field intensity and explains how to convert between some of these units when appropriate. Units of Antenna Gain While field strength at any location is independent […]

The line of sight (LOS) from the transmitter antenna center of radiation to the receiver antenna center of radiation and the Fresnel zone for the path at a given frequency can be added to a TAP™ profile plot. The line of sight shows simply the direct path between the two antennas. The Fresnel zone is […]
