AnsysHfssCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient Class

A SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient which contains complex scattering data produced as output from Ansys HFSS. Ansys HFSS can compute complex cross section for platforms based on their geometry and material characteristics. It exports complex cross section data in the comma separated value (CSV) file format. Each run of HFSS produces results for one signal source polarization. For example, a signal source model with horizontal (H) polarization computes cross section returns for the H-H (H incident and H reflected signal polarization) combination and for V-H (H incident and V reflected signal polarization). V is the vertical polarization. A second run produces data for vertical (V) signal polarization and computes cross section returns for the V-V (V incident and V reflected signal polarization) combination and for H-V (V incident and H reflected signal polarization). This class can accept a single file for the primary polarization or it can combine the exported files to produce a complex scattering cross section matrix for [HH, HV, VH, VV] values. The class reads the column headers in the CSV format files and parses the cross section data frequency value, the polarization scattering metrics element (H-H, V-H, H-V, V-V), phi angle start value (degrees), and phi angle stop value. It then computes the phi angle step value. Phi is the clock angle of the spherical coordinate system and is defined as the azimuth angle from the positive x-axis to the orthogonal projection of the point in the x-y plane. The first column of the CSV file give the theta values. The starting, ending, and step size for the theta values are determined by reading the first column data. Theta is the cone angle of the spherical coordinate system as is defined defined as the zenith angle from the positive z-axis to the point.

Methods

	Name	Description
	ApplyScatteringCoefficient(UnitCartesian, UnitCartesian, UnitQuaternion, Signal)	Applies the scattering coefficient to the input signal. (Inherited from SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient.)
	ApplyScatteringCoefficient(UnitCartesian, UnitCartesian, UnitQuaternion, Signal, Signal)	Applies the scattering coefficient to the input signals. (Inherited from SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient.)
	CheckForSameDefinition(AnsysHfssCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient)	Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
	CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)	Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object). (Inherited from ScatteringCoefficient.)
	CheckForSameDefinition(ScatteringCoefficient)	Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object). (Inherited from SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient.)

	Clone	Clones this object using the specified context. (Overrides SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficientClone(CopyContext).)
	ComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode	Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method. (Overrides SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficientComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode.)
	ComputeScatteringCoefficient(Spherical)	Computes the scattering coefficient in the supplied monostatic direction. (Inherited from SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficient.)
	ComputeScatteringCoefficient(UnitCartesian)	Computes the scattering coefficient in the supplied monostatic direction. (Overrides SphericalTabularMonostaticCrossSectionScatteringCoefficientComputeScatteringCoefficient(UnitCartesian).)

Remarks

If two files are imported to construct the full scattering matrix, the following conditions must be true:

The matrix size, Theta and Phi angle extents, and the step sizes must be the same for both files.
The frequency values listed in both files must be same.
