49205 Lab Assignment
This lab assignment must be completed with your wiki group, which should normally have 3
members (there may be a small number that have only 2).
Your task is to find one antenna, available for purchase on the Internet, that satisfies the following
criteria: take the second last digit of the HIGHEST student number of your group members, and use
it to select the specifications from the corresponding row from the following table:
Digit Context Application
0 Fixed WiFi 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands
1 Semi-fixed 4G LTE data
2 Mobile GSM voice calls only
3 Semi-fixed 2G, 3G and 4G data and voice
4 Semi-fixed 3G data only
5 Mobile 4G data only
6 Mobile 5.8GHz WiFi
7 Fixed 5.8GHz WiFi
8 Fixed 3G and 4G data only
9 Mobile 2G, 3G and 4G data and voice
Key:
• Fixed: mounted on a house or building, not intended to be moved.
• Semi-fixed: mounted on a relocatable dwelling or vehicle (eg. a caravan). The antenna is not
intended to be used during transit, only once stationary.
• Mobile: Antenna is intended to be used when in motion.
The following information is required for a suitable antenna that meets the chosen specifications:
1. URL where the antenna may be purchased
2. Price in AUD
3. Photograph of the antenna
4. Physical dimensions
5. Gain in dBi [ dB(isotropic) ]
6. 3dB beamwidth, if appropriate
7. Radiation pattern, both in the horizontal plane and vertical plane (if possible)
8. Any other information that you think is relevant
9. A discussion of why you think the antenna meets the specification.
Your results must be contained in a single document (.doc / .docx / .pdf) and submitted to the lab
report submission point in UTSOnline (located in ASSESSMENT TASKS à LAB REPORT, it will become
visible in due course).
