Direction Finding Antenna Arrays for Wildlife Tracking


Outdoor antenna test range for characterization of a 4-antenna dipole array at 164.5 MHz

Description

The objective is to develop develop and test an antenna array system for wildlife tracking.  A variety of measurements on the four-dipole antenna array and receiver have been tested.
