Create strip dipole antenna
The dipole
object is a strip dipole antenna on the Y-Z
plane.
The width of the dipole is related to the diameter of an equivalent cylindrical dipole by the equation
where:
d is the diameter of equivalent cylindrical dipole.
r is the radius of equivalent cylindrical dipole.
For a given cylinder radius, use the cylinder2strip
utility function to calculate the equivalent width. The
default strip dipole is center-fed. The feed point coincides with the origin. The origin
is located on the Y-Z plane.
creates a
half-wavelength strip dipole antenna on the Y-Z plane.d
= dipole
creates a
dipole antenna, with additional properties specified by one or more
name-value pair arguments. d
= dipole(Name,Value)Name
is the property name and
Value
is the corresponding value. You can specify
several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1
,
Value1
, ...
,
NameN
, ValueN
. Properties you do
not specify retains their default values.
