polarpattern class
Interactive plot of radiation patterns in polar format
Description
polarpattern
class plots antenna or array radiation patterns in
interactive polar format. You can also plot other types of polar data. Use these plots
when interactive data visualization or measurement is required. Right-click the
Polar Measurement window to change the properties, zoom in, or
add more data to the plot.
Construction
polarpattern
plots antenna or array radiation patterns
and other types of data in polar format. polarpattern
plots
field value data of radiation patterns for visualization and measurement.
Right-click the polar plot to interact.
polarpattern(
creates a polar
plot with magnitude values in the vector data
)d
. In this polar
plot, angles are uniformly spaced on the unit circle, starting at
0
degrees.
returns an object handle that you can use to customize the plot or add
measurements. You can specify any of the arguments from the previous
syntaxes.p
= polarpattern(___)
returns an object handle from polar pattern in the current figure.p
= polarpattern('gco'
)
polarpattern(___,Name,Value)
creates a polar
plot, with additional properties specified by one or more name-value pair
arguments. Name
is the property name and
Value
is the corresponding property value. You can
specify several name-value pair arguments in any order as
Name1
, Value1
, ...
,
NameN
, ValueN
. Properties not
specified retain their default values. To list all the property
Name,Value
pairs, use details(p)
. To
list all the property Name,Value
pairs, use
details(p)
. You can use the properties to extract any
data from the radiation pattern from the polar plot. For example, p =
polarpattern(data,'Peaks',3)
identifies and displays the three
highest peaks in the pattern data.
For a list of properties, see PolarPattern Properties.
polarpattern(
creates a polar plot using axes handle, ax
,___)ax
instead of the
current axes handle.
