The system of antenna measurement tool is expected to be low-cost and easy-to-use to overcome the problem in cost and complexity of the commercial tool. The proposed system which uses an AVR ATMega8535 as an MCU controls the position of antenna under test (AUT) in spherical coordinate using elevation-over-azimuth configuration. Mechanically, the system is implemented by stepper motor, gear system and a turntable for positioning the AUT on azimuth and elevation angle. The user interface of system is realized by a keypad and LCD display. From the result, it shows that the realized antenna measurement tool can handle a patch antenna of 50gram weight with the deviation angle of 1°. Meanwhile for a patch antenna of lOOgram weight, the deviation angle increases to be 2.5°. In addition, due to the torque of antenna, the deviation on elevation angle becomes larger for the elevation angle closer to 180°.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antenna measurement,Antenna under tests,AVR microcontrollers,Azimuth and elevation angles,Deviation angles,Elevation over azimuth,Spherical coordinates,Student experimentation[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antenna measurement tool,Antenna under test,AVR microcontroller,Elevation over azimuth[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/TSSA.2015.7440450[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
