Antennas have become an intrinsic part of our lives as there is a progression of technology and not many people understand how information is transferred through these devices. There are various ways of determining how antennas can transmit energy efficiently, and not everything is seen on the antennas themselves, as there are some problems that may arise from the transmission cables that they are connected to as well. Some ways of determining how an antenna can send energy signals are through an antenna’s radiation pattern. An antenna radiation pattern is a way to determine how a specific antenna radiates energy or propagates information. This study deals with understanding radiation pattern graphs, array patterns, beam scanning, and many other graphs. The understanding of all these is to efficiently be able to use antennas and reach the maximum possible distance that it can achieve at the right positioning of the antenna, and where it can have a signal boost from another device. This system can be used for low power smart antenna systems. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved.
