isPolarizationCapable

Array polarization capability

Since R2021a

Syntax

capflag = isPolarizationCapable(array)

Description

capflag = isPolarizationCapable(array) returns a Boolean value, capflag, indicating whether the array supports polarization. An array supports polarization if it can create or respond to polarized fields.

Examples

Short-Dipole Antenna ULA Supports Polarization

Show that an array of phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement antenna elements supports polarization.

antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement(...
    'FrequencyRange',[1e9 10e9]);
array = phased.ULA('NumElements',3,'Element',antenna);
isPolarizationCapable(array)

ans = logical
   1

The returned value of 1 shows that this array supports polarization.

Input Arguments

array — Array

Phased Array System Toolbox™ System object™

Array, specified as a Phased Array System Toolbox System object.

Output Arguments

capflag — Polarization-capability flag

true | false

Polarization-capability flag returned as a Boolean value true if the array supports polarization or false if it does not.
