Abstract
Content

Radiant Energy Display and Analysis Software Package (REDAP) is a computer program for processing antenna-radiation- pattern data that have been preprocessed by a data-collection program and stored in a spherical-coordinate format. REDAP is designed specifically for application to data generated in testing of antennas in an anechoic chamber at Johnson Space Center; parts of REDAP may be reusable for processing antennatest data collected elsewhere. REDAP provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and executes mathematical and plotting routines on a personal computer. The routines include statistical calculations (e.g., maximum, minimum, 3-dB-falloff points, and percent coverage); addition and subtraction of offsets; multiplication and division by scaling factors; and computation of circular-polarization characteristics from linear-polarization measurement data.
