Create plane wave excitation environment for antenna or array
The planeWaveExcitation
object creates an environment where
a plane wave excites an antenna or array. Plane wave excitation is a scattering solution
that solves the receiving antenna problem. By default, the antenna element is a dipole.
The dipole is excited using a plane wave that travels along the positive x-axis having a
z-polarization.
creates an
environment where a plane wave excites the antenna or array. By default, the
plane wave excites a dipole antenna.h
= planeWaveExcitation
returns a h
= planeWaveExcitation(Name,Value)planeWaveExcitation
environment, with
additional properties specified by one or more name-value pair arguments.
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.
