[BC] Directional FM Antennas

[Bob Groome]

Right Richard.

I believe all major FM antenna manufacturers now off full scale testing. 

Jampro and Electronics Research (ERI) both use far field measurements and the customer's actual antenna or a bay or two from it, should it be a big antenna. I have been on both ranges. Others also offer miniature antenna models in a chamber to do the DA work. But because all major companies now offer full size testing, that tells me that most consultants buy into full size testing instead of the models.
