Attached is a screen shot from Lady Heather showing various antenna signal
displays. The antenna was a cheap GPS/GLONASS patch antenna (mounted on a 3
foot ground level tripod ) connected to a rather nice NVS-08 receiver tracking
GPS, SBAS, and GLONASS satellites (typically around 22 sats).
very cool.
The usual "flat" plot for a 3 D pattern of a GPS antenna is to have the
radius = 90-elevation angle (so horizon is outer border), angle is
azimuth looking down on antenna, and color be power. Somewhere I saw
one that also integrated the multiple satellite tracks.
Another strategy is to plot it in u,v space. Color is power, but u =
cos(az)*cos(el) and v is sin(az)*cos(el) (or sin(theta) where theta is
the angle off boresight)

variety to choose from
