Antennenblick: Interactively Understand Radiation Patterns

·

This page has been automatically translated. Errors may occur.

Anyone who works with antennas knows the problem: Radiation diagrams in books and online resources are often static, difficult to interpret and only show a single operating case. Antennablick changes that – a new, interactive tool for understanding antenna radiation patterns.

What is antenna view?

Antenna view visualizes the radiation characteristics of different types of antennas in real time. You can change parameters such as installation height, band and antenna orientation and immediately see how the diagram changes.

Features

  • 35+ antenna types – From dipole to yagi to helix, all important antenna shapes are included
  • Interactive Charts – Polar and elevation charts that update in real time
  • Height Dependence – See how the structure height (in meters and wavelengths) influences the diagram
  • Soil Conditions – Simulate different soil qualities and terrain types
  • DX vs. NVIS – Understand which antenna configuration is optimal for long distance or short distance transport
  • Antenna comparison – Compare two antennas right next to each other
  • Quiz mode – Test your knowledge of antenna characteristics
  • Multilingual – German and English available

Who is the tool for?

Antenna view is aimed at:

  • Beginners who want to understand how antennas work
  • Exam candidates who are preparing for the amateur radio exam
  • Experienced OMs who are planning a new antenna and want to compare different options
  • Instructors who would like to clearly explain antenna technology

Try it now

Antennablick is free and works directly in the browser – no installation necessary. The tool can also be installed as a PWA (Progressive Web App) and works offline.
