disconeStrip
Description
The disconeStrip
antenna object creates a strip discone
antenna. The strip discone antenna is an approximation to a solid discone antenna, where the
cone and the disc are replaced with strips. The strip discone antennas are lighter in weight
and suited for applications in high frequency (HF) and very high frequency (VHF)
bands.
Creation
Description
creates a strip discone
antenna with dimensions for a resonant frequency of 147.38 MHz. The default strip
discone antenna has a feed point at the center of the disc.ant
= disconeStrip
creates a
strip discone antenna, with additional Properties specified by one or
more name-value arguments. ant
= disconeStrip(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 that you do not
specify retain their default values. For example,
disconeStrip(NumStrips=8)
creates a discone strip antenna with
eight strips.
