Page 29: Typical Data
6.0 Typical Data Typical Antenna Factor and Gain Distance for the ANSI 3-meter and 10-meter calibrations is measured from the antenna midpoint, and for SAE 1-meter calibrations the distance is measured from the antenna tip. Midpoint is defined as half the distance between the small elements and the bowties, which is about 45 cm from the small end tip. -
