Antenna patterns are very important for accurate
propagation modeling. WinProp is very flexible and
supports a open ASCII formats for antenna patterns. If
an appropriate converter for you is not already
available, AWE Communications will develop the
converters you need if a format description and at least
one sample data set is mailed to our
support team.

Interpolation of antenna pattern
Import of data
AMan offers several import filters, to convert the most
popular file formats to the WinProp antenna pattern
format. Popular formats are:
Antenna Patterns in *.msi or *.pln format
Many antenna manufacturers (e.g.
Kathrein) offer digital patterns of their
antennas in the *.msi and/or *.pln data format.
These patterns can directly be used with all WinProp
modules.
Open ASCII pattern format
WinProp also uses an open ASCII data format for
antenna patterns - so each customer can use its own
data format of the antenna patterns and can write a
simple converter to the WinProp ASCII import format.
