Also known as Component Catalogue
Browse the library of real RF, network and power components behind the noIM₃ tools, with measured antenna patterns and a clear record of where every figure came from.
Walkthrough
Antennas sold as one design tuned to many frequencies are grouped into families by radiation pattern. Open a family to see its pattern and choose the tuned part.
Search every category at once by manufacturer, model, part number or description. If a part is missing, request an addition and attach a datasheet.
Category index grouped by domain, with a component count and provenance bar for each category.
Overview
Many noIM₃ engineering tools draw their parts from one shared component library. The Coverage Predictor takes its antennas from it, the Link Planner its radios and dishes, and the BESS Designer its batteries and inverters. The Component Catalogue is that library, opened up so you can browse it directly.
It is not a datasheet mirror and does not host manufacturer PDFs. Instead it offers what a folder of datasheets cannot: one consistent layout across many manufacturers, the measured radiation pattern behind an antenna rather than a modelled outline, and a statement of how far each figure can be trusted.
Every component says whether its values were taken from a manufacturer datasheet, derived from a measured pattern set, or have no recorded source. Where a field was left empty, the record usually says why. Nothing is filled in with a plausible guess.
The library covers land mobile and microwave antennas, radios, coaxial and radiating cable, RF passives, distributed antenna system equipment, fibre, network equipment, servers, CCTV, access control, batteries, DC power, inverters, UPS, solar panels and air conditioning. Each entry is a real, orderable part rather than a generic placeholder.
Manufacturers and categories do not agree on what a datasheet contains. Each category builds its columns and filters from the fields that are actually populated, and leaves out fields that are always empty or never change.
Antennas with a measured pattern open as an interactive polar plot with azimuth and elevation cuts, and cross-polar cuts where published. Peak gain, band and beamwidth are shown above the plot, which draws the measured points rather than a fitted curve.
Licensed microwave and land mobile radios publish their performance as tables rather than single values. Transmit power, receive sensitivity and throughput are shown as tables against the bands, modulations and channel widths the manufacturer published.
Each component shows its source and how its values were extracted. Any extraction note is shown as written, and declared data gaps are listed in full so you can see what a record does not contain before relying on it.
Base station antennas are often sold as the same design tuned to many frequencies. The catalogue groups these into families by radiation pattern, so you browse designs and expand a family to choose the tuned part.
One search box covers every category by manufacturer, model, part number or description. If a part is missing or needs more data, you can request an addition and attach a datasheet for review.

Use cases
No. The catalogue holds the engineering parameters the noIM₃ tools use, in one consistent layout, along with measured antenna patterns. It does not host manufacturer PDFs, so for mechanical drawings or warranty terms you still need the manufacturer's document.
It varies by category. Some entries are taken directly from manufacturer datasheets, many antenna entries are derived from measured pattern sets, and a small number have no recorded source. Every component shows which applies, and each category shows the split on its provenance bar.
It means the record states that a field was not loaded, and often why. For example, a variant with no part number in the manufacturer's ordering table has its part number left empty, with the reason recorded, rather than a made-up code filled in.
Base station antennas are stored one entry per orderable part, and one design is often sold tuned to many frequencies. Grouping them by radiation pattern avoids a long list of near duplicates, and you can expand a family to choose the tuned part.
Measured. They come from the manufacturers' own antenna pattern files, and the plot draws the measured points rather than a curve fitted to a beamwidth figure.
Not from this tool, which is a viewer. The other noIM₃ tools read the same library directly, so a part you find here is already available in tools such as the Coverage Predictor, Link Planner and BESS Designer.
Use the request option to ask for a part to be added, or for more data on an existing one. You can attach a datasheet, and the request is reviewed before anything is added.
