Explain what the main representations of radar antenna pattern are

Concepts

  • [PP2-3-1-2] Antenna pattern
    The antenna radiation pattern shows the direction in which the antenna transmits and receives the energy in space, as well as the strength of this radiation. It is a function of angles and consists of different lobes, in which the signal is directed and received. There are two principal representation of the antenna patterns: field and power patterns, which are a function of the electric and magnetic fields of the energy being radiated.
