This paper discusses the experiment of measuring antenna radiation patterns using hardware and software that has been made previously. The antenna measured is the Half Wave Open Dipole antenna that works at VHF frequencies as Antenna Under Testing (AUT). The hardware used is Module-1 and Module-2 which have previously been tested for functionality, and the software is the Antenna Radiation Pattern application that is created using the Visual Basic programming language in the Microsoft Visual Studio package. Radiation pattern measurement experiments were carried out under various conditions, namely (1) without RF signals; (2) with RF signal and the position of the transmitting antenna is 0o with AUT; (3) with the RF signal and the position of the transmitting antenna at an angle of 90o to AUT; and (4) simulation of electromagnetic wave interference when making measurements. Based on the results of experiments conducted, it can be concluded that the Antenna Radiation Pattern application has functioned well and can describe the AUT radiation pattern. Future work of this research is the measurement of radiation patterns for other types of antennas and refinement of applications for the measurement of various antenna parameters. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
