Isotropic antenna element
The IsotropicAntennaElement
object creates
an antenna element with an isotropic response pattern. This antenna
object does not support polarization.
To compute the response of the antenna element for specified directions:
Define and set up your isotropic antenna element. See Construction.
Call step
to
compute the antenna response according to the properties of phased.IsotropicAntennaElement
.
The behavior of step
is specific to each object in
the toolbox.
Starting in R2016b, instead of using the step
method
to perform the operation defined by the System
object™, you can
call the object with arguments, as if it were a function. For example, y
= step(obj,x)
and y = obj(x)
perform
equivalent operations.
H = phased.IsotropicAntennaElement
creates
an isotropic antenna system object, H
. The object
models an antenna element whose response is 1 in all directions.
H = phased.IsotropicAntennaElement(
creates
an isotropic antenna object, Name
,Value
)H
, with each specified
property Name set to the specified Value. You can specify additional
name-value pair arguments in any order as (Name1
,Value1
,...,NameN
,ValueN
).
