Basic Antenna Trainer has been designed to provide useful tools for hands on experimentation and teaching of various commonly used antennas in UHF-Microwave band in the laboratory for students of all levels. It can be used in stand-alone mode. In this system, receiving antenna is rotated manually from 0 to 360 degrees and accordingly the signal strength can be monitored on the Receiver. It comes with a Polar plotting software for storing readings manually The system consists of a set of two tripods one for mounting the transmitting antenna and another for mounting the receiving antenna, 11Antennas,RFTransmitter/ Receiver, Antenna Plotting Software and relevant accessories/ cables.
