Good evening,
Does anyone have measured gain (patterns) for a D3000N discone antenna that they are willing to share?
The datasheet states a nominal 2 dBi gain, but I am skeptical that is true across the full frequency range, and also would expect rolloff as elevation angle increases until hitting a null at zenith. Any measurements are appreciated, with or without the whip attached.
Would you expect as low as -10 dBi gain above 1 GHz and 20-30 degree elevation angle? Is there any type of ground plane that can be used to improve the gain if attaching to a tripod/mast?
Thank you!
