MetalCatalog
Syntax
Description
Examples
Use Metal Catalog to Design Corrugated Horn Antenna
Open the metal catalog.
mc = MetalCatalog; open(mc)
List the properties of the metal material Brass
.
s = find(mc,"Brass")
s = struct with fields:
Name: 'Brass'
Conductivity: 15900000
Thickness: 0.6800
Units: 'mm'
Comments: ''
Use the material Brass
as a metal in a corrugated horn antenna.
m = metal("Brass");
ant = hornCorrugated(Conductor=m)
ant = hornCorrugated with properties: FlareLength: 0.0428 FlareWidth: 0.0900 FlareHeight: 0.0800 Length: 0.0229 Width: 0.0102 Height: 0.0075 FeedWidth: 8.0000e-05 FeedHeight: 0.0037 FeedOffset: [-0.0020 0] FirstCorrugateDistance: 0.0160 CorrugateDepth: [0.0050 0.0100] CorrugateWidth: 0.0030 Pitch: 0.0060 Conductor: [1x1 metal] Tilt: 0 TiltAxis: [1 0 0] Load: [1x1 lumpedElement]
View the antenna using show function.
