Radiation Pattern of Millimeter Wave

Our project is used to measure the radiation pattern of millimeter wave. It consists of a structure that supports an antenna, and another one that supports a motor and a rotating aluminum arm where a receiving open-ended waveguide is mounted. A Raspberry pi is used to communicate to a motor and at the same time control a network analyzer to take measurements while the analyzer scan an open-ended waveguide over a semicircle above the antenna at a specific distance. Millimeter wave is important for wireless applications, anti-collision systems, imaging systems, and future 5G communications
