linearArray
Create linear antenna array
Description
The linearArray
class creates a linear antenna array in the
X-Y plane. By default, the linear array is a two-element dipole array. The dipoles are
center fed. Each dipole resonates at 70 MHz when isolated.
Creation
Description
class to create a linear antenna array, with additional properties specified
by one, or more name-value pair arguments. array
= linearArray(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 not
specified retain their default values.
