Beam Patterns > What is a Beam Pattern
Topic Intro
Beam patterns are important tools for predicting sensor performance in an application.

Let's look at what a beam pattern is, and how it is developed.

After completing this topic, you will be able to:
  • Describe a beam pattern
  • Explain why a beam pattern is a predictor not a specification
