Abstract :
The paper entitled Low-Cost FPGA Based Antenna Pattern Measurement System describes a cost-effective antenna pattern measurement system for educational purposes. Operating the system does not require any additional computer support as it is designed to be a standalone device. The system is built upon Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform and contains 4 main blocks; namely, RF source, logarithmic RF detector, position controller and the central control unit.
