Abstract
In radio communication, the antenna plays an important role as a radiation element (in transmitters) the engergy of electromagnetic waves to free space and as an interceptioin one (in receivers) some of the power of an electromagnetic wave from free space. The directional characteristics is one of the most fundamential features of the antennas.
Currently, antennas in the UHF frequency band are widely used in digital terrestrial television Therefore, this paper proposes the trainer model for measuring the directional characteristics of UHF antennas. The results are applied in teaching, practising the subject of Antenna Engineering as well as supporting students to understand more deeply the basical characteristics of some kinds of antennas.
