Usually how to find out the aperture of an antenna? By measurement or simulation?
Is there somewhere the aperture for frequently used antenna can be found?
I can see the aperture values of some antennas are listed in Wiki, e.g. the aperture for half-wave dipole is 0.1305*lamda^2
but I would like to know the dimension of the aperture, e.g. width*length
this is because this dimension is needed for the calculation of far field condition
Thanks!
