ITU-R BO1213 Co-Polar Antenna

A co-polar antenna pattern modeled on equations given in ITU-R BO1213.

Parameter	Description
Design Frequency	The frequency of the antenna. For an embedded antenna on a receiver, transmitter or radar, this value corresponds to the Frequency entered on the Model Specs tab for the transmitter or receiver and the Transmitter Specs tab for the Radar. For an antenna linked to a receiver, transmitter, or radar, the Antenna Design Frequency value gets overridden by the Frequency value set on the Model Specs tab for the transmitter or receiver, and the on the Transmitter Specs tab for the Radar. However, when computing the antenna's gain matrix (or a link budget, etc.) from one of the objects linking to the antenna, that other object's frequency settings override the antenna's Design Frequency setting.
Main-lobe Gain	The maximum gain of the main lobe of the antenna pattern.
Efficiency	The aperture efficiency of the antenna. This value accounts for all the losses between the incident wavefront and the output of the antenna. This field is not required by the ITU-R recommendations. It is, however, provided for consistency with other antenna types and to facilitate accounting for any antenna losses. By default, the efficiency is set to a value of 100% or zero loss.
Diameter	Diameter of the dish.
