AntennaWise is proud to use Sketchup, a flexible state-of-the-art 3D modeling tool that was designed and developed by Google to render and present exceptional models. Using Sketchup, our engineers are able to accurately model nearly any 3D object or location, while also taking advantage of the range of 3D models freely downloadable from the Google Sketchup 3D Warehouse.
AntennaWise has created a complementary 3D model collection that encompasses various antenna types and antenna site objects – from basic fence to complex lattice towers. These may be used within the free Sketchup 3D modeling tool provided by Google to draw antenna sites rapidly and cost-effectively. Review our collection and download complementary antenna site models created by AntennaWise.
These models help us rapidly craft 3D drawings of antenna sites and later determine both RF radiation levels surrounding the antennas and interference between radio equipment at the antenna site.
At AntennaWise, we receive modeling requests most frequently for the following antenna types.
Omnidirectional antenna, shown in red and used by wireless operators, is a relatively small tripod-mounted model.
The panel antenna, frequently used by cellular companies, is typically mounted on monopole antenna towers. This particular image shows a four-panel antenna array with a rooftop mount.
Rooftop-mounted dish antennas are most frequently used to send high-speed point-to-point data.
At AntennaWise, we specialize in 3D tower modeling, with a few of the most common types shown and described below.
The Tapered Monopole is shown on the left with a dish antenna. This particular model has twelve sides with diameter changing linearly from top to bottom. On the right is a stepped monopole with a three-sector array of panel antennas, aptly named for its stepped sections. The person shown on the platform offers some perspective of actual antenna and platform size.
The Lattice Tower, shown below in three representative types, can include the three-sided lattice with X-shaped braces and an array of panels, as depicted on the left, the four-sided lattice with simple diagonal braces, as shown in the middle, and the guyed lattice, as shown on the right.
