Sinc Real Power Aperture Rectangular Antenna
[(Sin x)/x]N curve distribution pattern, where N is a real number, with a rectangular pattern of illumination.
This antenna uses a rectangular coordinate system.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
X/Y Dimension | The X Dimension and Y Dimension of the antenna gain pattern. Valid if Use Dimensions is selected. The beamwidths will be automatically calculated and displayed. |
X/Y Dim Beamwidth | The X Dim Beamwidth and Y Dim Beamwidth of the antenna gain pattern. Valid if Use Beamwidth is selected. The dimensions will be automatically calculated and displayed. |
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 main-lobe gain value. Valid if Computed is not selected. Select Computed to automatically calculate the main-lobe gain based on beamwidth or diameter, efficiency, and design frequency. |
Efficiency | The antenna efficiency factor, ranging from 0 to 100 percent. |
Back-lobe Gain |
Back-lobe gain can be used two different ways:
|
Function Power | A real number. The value must fall in the range 1-10. |
