Abstract
The research presents the development of virtual laboratory in measuring antenna radiation pattern based on the GUI of MATLAB software for applying in teaching of electrical engineering. The research development tools consist of an engineering laboratory package, an antenna radiation pattern measurement set, a microcontroller of Arduino UNO-R3, and a peak detector board in sensing intensity electromagnetic field and a simulation program using GUI of MATLAB. The research results presented the performance in the development of antenna radiation measurement set, the efficient GUI based on the virtual laboratory set, the efficient evaluation of engineering laboratory package by implementing with a sampling group of the undergraduate engineering students. It can be seen that the engineering laboratory package of antenna radiation pattern measurement can encourage the students have higher learning achievement both in theory and practical skills following the 21st learning century.
