Abstract

Antenna embedded within wireless system are prone to interact with other system radio components, casing and mounting. These influence factors deviate the antenna performance from its ideal non-invasive set-up when it is operated in isolation. Its accurate radiation pattern characterisation requires a reflectionless environment, and a rigorous measurement technique. In this paper, we present the results of a rigorous measurement technique carried out at the UK National Physical Laboratory for the radiation pattern characterisation of embedded radios emitting modulated signals. The radiation patterns of two mostly used wireless sensor motes ¿ MICAz and SunSpot, were measured and a repeatability measurement was performed. To validate the measurement technique the radiation pattern of a commercial electrically small antenna was also performed at 2.5 GHz.
