Large Scale Model for Radiation Pattern Measurement Methodology

The article presents a digital twin simulation of a real antenna system (AS) inserted in complex terrain topology. The simulation of E-field distribution around the AS (450 meters in radius) illustrates the influence of reflective terrain - imported with a point cloud LiDAR scan. As shown in this paper, ignoring these effects could lead to severe measurement errors. Further study of this digital twin simulation will help to avoid introduced measurement error in the proposed quadcopter radiation pattern measurement of large AS.
