IEEE 1979 Antenna Pattern
The IEEE 1979 antenna type model extends the external gain pattern data formats to use measured antenna gain data using the IEEE1979 standard.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Design Frequency |
This is the frequency of the antenna. The antenna design frequency is independent of the operational frequency of a transmitter, receiver, or radar. Changing the frequency of a transmitter, receiver, or radar does not update an embedded antenna's design frequency, nor vice versa. The design frequency is solely used at antenna configuration time to compute the antenna size from its max gain or beamwidth settings. A mismatch between signal frequency and antenna design frequency typically causes performance degradation. |
