3D Antenna Pattern with Ansoft Designer - RF Cafe Forums
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views. It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if you would like to post something on RF Cafe's Facebook page, please do.

Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

I'm trying to get a 3-D antenna pattern for my patch antenna with Ansoft Designer, but when I ask for the 3-D pattern, it gives me the main lobe and no sidelobes. The 2-D shows the main lobe with the sidelobes. Can anyone let me know how I can get the sidelobes in the 3D?

i guess the power levels of sidelobes are very much lower than the main lobe( dominat mode). Could you please be more specific of your design

Perhaps the 3D Antenna Pattern without Sidelobes is using a logarithmic scale which would emphasis the main lobe but not the sidelobes. In fact, it might actually be showing them but they would be greatly reduced when using the log scale.

Just a thought ...
