"IsoLOG 3D Mobile" Antenna - direction finding and use cases?
A question ive always had about the IsoLOG 3D Mobile:
1- can this product/antenna be used for direction finding in any way? (even if that is not directly supported by software)- i do realize the "IsoLOG 3D DF" (direction finding) is a different product (and is made for direction finding)
2- what is the advantage to the 3D (axis rotation) feature the mobile provides over a standard X or Y polarized antenna?
I have one (a mobile 9080) , and love it for its amps and ability to switch the antennas polarity- but i have not made much use of the rotation functions, due to lack of use-case (and knowledge) on my end.
thanks

This antenna is made for 3D peak measurement not for DF.
It is a quasi isotropic antenna since the switches allow you to circle all antennas over and over again at a very high speed.
Depending on the selected antenna switch time and the sweep or capture time of the connected analyzer different traces will offer the wanted results:
Setting the Max Hold will give you the highest reading from all 3 axis (x,y,z).
Using a Max Fall or a short AVG instead will allow you to make steady peak measurements e.g. for drive tests.
