7. Antenna Orientation
The MP000000429 antenna is characterized in straight antenna orientation as shown in the image below. The antenna orientation characterizes use of antenna attached to enclosure-mounted connector. The charts on the following pages represent data taken with the antenna in free space without ground plane.

7.1 VSWR
The image provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR is a function of the reflection coefficient, which describes the power reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency. Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected from the antenna.

7.2 Return Loss
Return loss (Image below), represents the loss in power at the antenna due to reflected signals. Like VSWR, a lower return loss value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency.

7.3 Peak Gain
The peak gain across the antenna bandwidth is shown below. Peak gain represents the maximum antenna input power concentration across 3-dimensional space, and therefore peak performance at a given frequency, but does not consider any directionality in the gain pattern.

7.4 Average Gain
Average gain (Image below), is the average of all antenna gain in 3-dimensional space at each frequency, providing an indication of overall performance without expressing antenna directionality.

7.5 Radiation Efficiency
Radiation efficiency (Image below), shows the ratio of power radiated by the antenna relative to the power supplied to the antenna, expressed as a percentage, where a higher percentage indicates better performance at a given frequency. An ideal antenna has 100% efficiency. But in really world, usually an external antenna radiates only 50~60% of power supplied to it.

7.6 Radiation Patterns
Radiation patterns provide information about the directionality and 3-dimensional gain performance of the antenna by plotting gain at specific frequencies in three orthogonal planes. Antenna radiation patterns are shown below using polar plots covering 360 degrees. The antenna graphic at the top of the page provides reference to the plane of the column of plots below it.
