Sinc Integer Power Aperture Rectangular Antenna

[(Sin x)/x]^N curve distribution pattern, where N is an integer, 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 size. 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	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.
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	You can use back-lobe gain two different ways: A specified constant gain value for the back hemisphere of the gain pattern. Modeled as a fraction of the Main-lobe Gain, but in the opposite direction. For example, boresight gain is computed at a 0 degree elevation angle, the back-lobe attenuation factor is applied and the result is used as the gain at the 180 degree elevation angle. The backlobe gain is a mirror image of the forward gain, but with the backlobe gain applied as an attenuation factor. If “Use as main-lobe attenuation” is selected, the attenuation factor is applied on the main-lobe gain and the result is used in the back-lobe direction.
Function Power	An integer for the exponent. Valid range is 1-10.
