Frequently we are asked, “What antenna spacing should I use for my mobile antennas?” This is a good question because many people think that antenna spacing would be critical for good performance and people are surprised when our answer is, “Somewhere between an 1/8 and 1/4 wavelength.” In this post I’m going to present to you the results from the detailed model of our antennas to show the effect on error of antenna spacing and Read more…
Over the years many of our customers have asked about mounting the DF antenna on the side of a tower or mast. Will it work? The short answer is not very well. We’ve posted the results of some extensive modeling we’ve done to predict the error associated with side mounting the DF array on a tower. To achieve a less than 5 degree peak error at 150 MHz the array must be mounted over 8 Read more…

The previous versions of TargetTrack limited the map file size and the level of zooming. The new version allows for much larger file sizes and considerably more zoom levels. We’ve also added some more map like zooming and panning tools. The bitmap mapping facility in TargetTrack allows our users to make their own custom maps Read more…
