Generation of Antenna Patterns

The antenna patterns used in ProMan are either in a binary format (.apb) or an ASCII format (.apa).

Antenna pattern files can also be converted and created using the tool AMan, which features a graphical user interface (GUI) and a 3D view of the antenna pattern including different converters for well-known file formats (for example, MSI).

Conversion of 2x2D pattern to 3D pattern

Conversion of a horizontal and a vertical antenna pattern to a full 3D antenna pattern (with four different conversion algorithms), see AMan.
