Hi

I want to know how can I test my antenna in USRP and LABVIEW

is it possible or not.

If possible what is the requirment and how i can test (Pareameters)..

waiting for reply...

I need to plot the radiation pattern of antenna using USRP.

can you provide me the vi for same.

[RTSLVU · Accepted solution]

You transmit a known power from the antenna and you measure the radiated power (from 10 meters away using the USRP) as you slowly rotate the transmitting antenna 360 degrees on its X-axis.

Correlate the received power measurement with the degree of rotation and plot your pattern.

Can you explain how to measure radiate power?

And also how to Correlate the received power measurement with the degree of rotation and plot your pattern? 

Is there inbuilt API available in LabVIEW?
